There are two issues here.

Firstly, SEI (sustainable energy Ireland) have a scheme where an energy advisor will come out to your house and look for drafts etc. As far as I know there is a charge of around 50 euro for that. There has been ads recently on radio for companies to avail of the service free of charge.

Secondly, there is a pilot scheme running at the moment in certain towns (Ennis, Dundalk and others) where you can apply for a 50% grant to solve Energy issues such as reinsulating, double glazing, draft proofing etc.

If you do any improvements on your house you are entitled to tax relief on the interest if you get a loan through the tax relief at source scheme.
