Government Support to Upgrade Your Home Efficiently
The SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland) offers grants to help homeowners upgrade to energy-efficient windows and doors.
Under the current scheme, you can receive funding towards both window and door upgrades. Windows can receive up to €4,000 and external doors up to €800 per door, max 2 doors. Because of this, many homeowners in Cork are now upgrading to:
- Reduce heat loss
- Eliminate drafts
- Lower energy bills
- Improve BER rating
- Increase property value

- You must be the homeowner

Most importantly – you must receive grant approval before starting any work.
