As part of the criteria for to receive a grant a BER is required following the upgrade works. The grant also includes funds to part cover the cost of your BER.

  • Grant amounts have been revised and increased
  • There is a bonus incentive if the homeowner applies a third or fourth Energy Efficiency Measure.
