Better Energy Warmer Homes

This is the free scheme. Midland Warmer Homes delivers it for SEAI across the Midlands, for owner-occupied homes built before 2006.

The scheme helps households at risk of fuel poverty. Works are carried out at no cost to you once SEAI confirms you're eligible. You only need to be on one of the qualifying payments, not all of them.

You can also read SEAI's page for fully funded upgrades.

Eligibility

You may qualify if

  • You own your home
  • Your home was built before 2006
  • You receive one of the qualifying payments below

You need to receive one of these payments

  • Fuel Allowance
  • Jobseeker's Allowance (6+ months, with a child under 7)
  • Working Family Payment
  • One-Parent Family Payment
  • Domiciliary Care Allowance
  • Carer's Allowance (and you live with the person you care for)

A few things worth knowing

  • Rented properties aren't covered under this scheme, though landlords can apply separately through the Better Energy Homes Scheme.
  • Stone or solid brick homes can't receive wall insulation, but they may still qualify for attic insulation and other measures.
  • You can only take part in this scheme once.

The process

From first call to a warmer home

  1. Get in touch

    Call, email, or fill in our form. We'll check you meet the criteria.

  2. We send your application form

    Complete it and get it signed and stamped by your local Department of Social Protection office.

  3. Return your documents

    Send the signed form plus proof of home ownership back to us, by post or email.

  4. We submit to SEAI

    We process and submit your application on your behalf.

  5. Home survey

    SEAI arranges a survey to confirm what work your home qualifies for.

  6. Work is scheduled and completed

    Once approved, we schedule the installation. This is free of charge at every stage.

What you'll need

  • Signed, stamped application form (homeowner and Dept. of Social Protection)
  • Proof of home ownership: house insurance, deeds, mortgage statement, or Local Property Tax letter with a utility bill
  • Carer’s Allowance applicants only: a completed Carer’s Allowance Certification form

Proof of ownership can be a house insurance policy (not a quote), a mortgage statement, the title deeds, or a Local Property Tax letter with a utility bill.
