How this site works
Who gets your request and how our figures are worked out.
Free, no obligation. One registered contractor prices it, not five.
How it works
We work out the SEAI external insulation grant against your own house: your wall, what a job that size typically costs and what's left. When you send the check, we pass your answers to one SEAI-registered external insulation contractor who covers your county. They price the job and deal with you directly. externalinsulationgrant.ie is not SEAI or a government body and does not award grants.
Who gets your request
One contractor, not a list, on SEAI's register for external wall insulation and covering your county. Nothing is agreed until you accept their written price.
How our figures are worked out
The grants are SEAI's. Wall areas are from SEAI's BER register for homes built before 2011, and the typical job is what grant-funded external insulation typically costs for the house type, scaled to the wall. It's a guide; your contractor prices your house.

Your grant against your walls
Four quick taps. You see your grant, your wall, what a job that size typically costs and what's left. Your number is only asked for at the end, if you want a price.
An average semi-detached house: about 91 m² of outside wall, a typical job of about €23,200, the €6,000 grant, so about €17,200 left to pay.
How this is worked out
The grant is SEAI's fixed amount for your house type. The wall area is the median outside wall on the BER register for homes of your type built before 2011, or the smaller or larger quarter if you picked those. The typical job is what grant-funded external insulation typically costs for your house type, scaled to that wall. Your contractor prices your house after a look: it's a guide to plan with, never a quote. SEAI decides every grant.
