Applying for an SEAI grant can be complex — from eligibility checks to technical submissions and contractor coordination. At MTS DNC Energy Consultants, we simplify the process, offering complete support to ensure your application is correct, compliant, and successful.
🏡 Our Step-by-Step SEAI Grant Support Includes
1. Initial Consultation & Eligibility Check
We begin by assessing your property or business and confirming eligibility under the Better Energy Homes, Community Energy, or Non-Domestic schemes. Our team identifies the most suitable grants for your project — whether it involves insulation, heat pumps, solar PV, ventilation upgrades, or controls.
2. Application Preparation
We handle the entire application on your behalf. Our engineers prepare and submit all required forms, technical documentation, and photo evidence to ensure your submission fully complies with SEAI’s guidelines. This saves you time and avoids costly mistakes or delays.
3. Contractor Coordination
Not working with an SEAI-registered installer? We’ll guide your chosen contractor through the SEAI registration process, ensuring they meet all competency, insurance, and certification requirements. This step ensures your project remains eligible for grant funding.
4. Project Documentation & Photo Verification
Our team oversees every step of the process — from before-and-after photos to BER certificates and technical forms — ensuring all information is correctly gathered and ready for submission.
5. Submission & Grant Approval
Once your project is complete, we handle the final submission and liaise directly with SEAI. We track your grant progress, ensuring timely review, approval, and payment — so you receive your funding as soon as possible.
🌍 Optional Add-On: Energy Simulations & Design Optimisation
For an additional fee, MTS DNC Energy Consultants can carry out energy performance simulations to help you make informed decisions before you apply:
Compare different insulation options and their energy savings.
Assess HVAC system configurations for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Evaluate the impact of heat pumps, ventilation systems, and solar PV on energy use.
This data-driven approach ensures your retrofit achieves the best energy rating improvement and maximum return on investment.
