Currently, there are many energy grants available to homeowners who are installing renewable energy technology. Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI), were set up by the government as Ireland’s national energy agency and administrates the greener homes grant scheme for the Irish government. The greener homes scheme provides assistance to homeowners who intend to purchase a new renewable energy heating system. Technologies included in the grant scheme are wood pellet boilers, wood pellet stoves and solar heating systems amongst others.

Kedco is an approved supplier under the Greener Homes Scheme and our eligible technologies are all listed below.

Kedco will assist you in selecting the best renewable energy system for your home and assist in preparation of your Greener Homes Scheme Grant application, which must be approved before any work is undertaken.

The amount of the grants is fixed and vary according to the technology chosen. The grant covers the cost of the purchase of the system. The product must be listed on the SEI’s Registered Products List with the installation of the technology being carried out by an installer who also appears on the SEI’s Registered Installer List.
