What is a One Stop Shop?
A One Stop Shop is a provider that is registered and approved by the SEAI to offer homeowners all the services required for a complete home energy upgrade under the One Stop Shop grant for multiple energy upgrade measures. Grants offered are provided by the Government of Ireland through the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI).
( Please note, SEAI grants are also available for individual measures if your home isn’t suited to the One Stop Shop service) Click here.
If you are wondering what ‘Home Energy Upgrades’ actually means, it is simply any measure or improvement you make in the home that :
- increases the efficiency(energy-efficiency) of your home
- reduces the cost of heating your home
- ensures you are not using or reducing the use of fossil fuels
- Ensures you get to experience a lovely cosy home
- Increases the comfort levels in your home
- Introduces renewable energy sources
- Gives you plenty of hot water easily
- as well as introducing smart measures to give you a future-proofed home
The One Stop Shop Service is aimed at very specific types of homes, particularly homes that are …
- Built before 2011
- Homes requiring a number of energy upgrades
- Homes capable of achieving the required B2 or higher BER post works
WHY?
The SEAI is offering substantial grants to help owners upgrade their homes and in order to qualify for such grants, there are specific requirements and post-work results to be obtained in order to qualify for the grant.
How Do You Know if Your Home Qualifies for the SEAI One Stop Shop Grant?
In order for us to find out if your home qualifies for the SEAI One Stop Shop Grant, we will need to ask you some questions about your property.
For instance …
– What type of house do you have?
– the approximate year of construction?
– what type of energy upgrades are you interested in?
– for example, attic insulation, heat pumps, windows, or door upgrades
– do you know the current BER rating of your home? (Building Energy Rating)
– have you had a Home Energy Assessment done?
*** Please note, a Home Energy Assessment IHEA) is not the same thing as a BER assessment.
A Home Energy Assessment is a very detailed and independent, onsite assessment of your property,. This is to help you assess all the viable options to upgrade your home and give you a very clear roadmap to work from.
It looks at a number of factors, including the current heat loss indicators and many other factors to give you a very clear ‘before and after’ scenario, approx cost of works as well as multiple upgrade options, so you can make an informed decision.
Once you receive your Home Energy Assessment report, we will then sit with you, go through all the possibilities and options outlined in the report, and come up with the most energy-efficient and cost-effective plan for your home.
*** Please note ***
SEAI offers a standalone grant of €350 for the Home Energy Assessment. This is deducted directly at the source so you only pay the net cost of the HEA. We can talk you through this and arrange it for you if you would like to move your project forward.
Grants offered are provided by the Government of Ireland through the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI)
