What is the Greenloan Home Energy Savers Scheme?
The main focus of the Greenloan Home Energy Savers Scheme is to create employment opportunities in local communities throughout Ireland by grouping homeowners into clusters to avail of large discounts in upgrading their properties.
Scheme Administrator Mary Stewart said:
The Greenloan Scheme is different from the SEI Home Energy Saving Scheme (HES) scheme in that groups of local residents can form clusters. By pooling together, the costs of works are substantially reduced as bulk works are organised at significant discounts of up to 40%. The only commitment that must be made by homeowners is to have a Building Energy Rating (BER) assessment carried out on their home. 200 euro grants are available towards this cost.
| Grant | Amount |
|---|---|
| Internal Wall Dry-Lining | €2500 |
| External Wall Insulation | €4000 |
| Wood pellet boiler upgrade | €1400 - €2500 |
| Roof Insulation | €250 |
| BER Assessment | €200 |
