Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

Yeah, we have the new windows and doors grant that they can avail.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

So it's up to 4,000 euros for new windows and up to 1,600 euros for new doors.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

So 800 euros per door.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

So it's not means tested.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

They can just apply for it.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

There are certain conditions if the

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

If they're looking at windows, I would also look at the walls and roof insulation.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

You lose about two thirds of your heater, it goes out through your roof and your walls.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

So look at those first.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

And I would upgrade those.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

But yeah, we have a grant for windows and doors as well.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

I'd always say to people to do the attic first because a lot of people, there's about probably several hundred thousand homes in the country that are insulated, but just not to a particularly good degree.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

So it's always worth doing because heat rises and you lose about a third of your heat out through the roof.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

Yep, we have a number there on the website, but seai.ie and there's a lot of detail there in the grants.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

I...

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

Considering that the accessible area of the attic is well insulated, that there is some insulation in the inaccessible areas and that they're getting the walls insulated, that I think there are probably a pretty good chance that they will meet the criteria to get a heat pump, that the heat loss thresholds will be reduced and they will fall in the eligibility for a heat pump.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

Heat pumps will work in any house.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

We have a criteria there that the heat loss shouldn't be above a certain level because it can make it more difficult.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

But as we get more and more information and detail on heat pumps and actual performance of heat pumps, we see that they do work in houses with higher level heat loss.

Today with David McCullagh
Deep retrofits and energy grants - SEAI Q&A

The issue there with accessibility, that's not so much...
