Can You Get €8,000 for External Wall Insulation?

When Can You Get Up to €8,000?

• External Wall Insulation is recommended following a Home Energy Assessment
• The works form part of a One Stop Shop home energy upgrade
• SEAI technical and sequencing requirements are met

Not every home qualifies for the full amount. The exact grant support depends on your home type, wall area, and overall upgrade plan.

How Churchfield Home Services Manages the Process

As a Registered SEAI One Stop Shop, Churchfield Home Services manages the entire process for you. This includes:

• Arranging your Home Energy Assessment
• Confirming whether External Wall Insulation is suitable
• Designing a compliant upgrade plan
• Applying for and managing SEAI grants

Once approved, the grant is deducted upfront from the cost of works. You pay the net amount, not the full figure and then wait for a refund.

Why a Home Energy Assessment Is Essential

A Home Energy Assessment is the step that confirms whether External Wall Insulation — and the €8,000 support — applies to your home.

During the assessment, we look at how your home currently performs, where heat is being lost, and how External Wall Insulation would interact with ventilation, heating, and other upgrades. This avoids unsuitable works and ensures long-term performance.

Without this step, grant figures are only estimates.
