Getting it quoted properly

Four things worth knowing before you talk to anyone. They are the difference between a grant you receive and a grant you were told about.

SEAI-registered installers only

A grant can only be claimed on work done by an installer on SEAI’s register. Anyone quoting you a grant-funded job who is not on it is quoting you something they cannot deliver.

The grant comes off the quote

For most measures the installer applies for the grant and shows it as a deduction. If a quote asks you to pay in full and claim it back yourself, ask why.

Order matters

Several grants require a BER assessment and an approved application before any work starts. Starting first is the most common way people lose thousands.

Three quotes, not one

The same array on the same roof routinely differs by thousands between installers. One quote tells you a price; three tell you the market.
