SEC Misc FAQ
In Ireland there are currently three primary grant opportunities:
- One Stop Shop Service Grants
- Free Energy Upgrade Grants
- Individual Energy Upgrade Grants
You can read more about them on the SEAI website.
SEC’s allow a group of homeowners to better avail of the one stop shop service grants, where a group of homes collectively works with a contractor and thus receives a larger per home gran award and lower installation costs than if they went alone.
The term “Deep Retrofit” is beginning to fall out of favour and the term “Home Energy Upgrade” is the newer terminology. In both cases the overall meaning is similar in that the home will undergo a complete and simultaneous energy upgrade rather than addressing singular upgrades or systems piecemeal.
