Sustainability is no longer an optional extra in Irish construction — it’s a necessity. With rising energy costs, climate targets, and a strong push from government policy, both builders and homeowners are increasingly focused on creating energy-efficient homes.
In 2025, grants and incentives offered through the SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland) are playing a major role in making green building more accessible. While retrofitting remains important, new schemes now extend to new builds, extensions, and eco-friendly home upgrades.
At Homevalue, we are committed to supporting this shift by offering eco-friendly materials, expert guidance, and sustainable solutions across our nationwide store network.
Government grants supporting new builds and extensions
The SEAI and government continue to expand supports for homeowners and builders. Grants are now available not only for retrofitting existing properties but also for integrating renewable technologies and energy-efficient solutions into new builds.
Examples include:
- Solar PV systems to generate clean electricity.
- Heat pump systems that provide efficient, low-carbon heating.
- Insulation upgrades for roofs, attics, and walls.
These initiatives are helping homeowners reduce energy bills, improve comfort, and contribute to Ireland’s climate goals.
