SEAI grants can reduce the cost of external wall insulation for many Irish homes. To claim the SEAI Individual Energy Upgrade Grant, the work must be done by an SEAI-registered contractor. Phoenix Maco Ltd installs the insulation system and works alongside our SEAI-registered partner, AP Eco, so the grant route, paperwork and inspections are handled properly. We do not guarantee grant approval — eligibility and grant amounts are set by SEAI and depend on the property and homeowner. Check current grant values at seai.ie.

FAQs
Is Phoenix Maco Ltd an SEAI approved contractor?+
For SEAI grant projects we work with our SEAI-registered partner, AP Eco, who is the registered contractor on the grant. Phoenix Maco Ltd carries out the insulation and render work on site.
Do I need an SEAI-registered contractor to get the grant?+
Yes. SEAI only pays the Individual Energy Upgrade Grant when the work is done by a contractor on its register, and the grant must be approved before work starts. You can search the register on seai.ie.
How much is the SEAI grant for external wall insulation?+
SEAI sets fixed grant amounts by house type (for example apartment, mid-terrace, semi-detached or detached). Amounts change, so check the current figures on seai.ie before you plan your budget.
Can you guarantee an SEAI grant?+
No. Eligibility is decided by SEAI based on the property, the homeowner and the scheme rules.
What does EWI cost before the grant?+
Our EWI starts from €160/m² supplied and installed. A typical semi-detached house of about 110m² of wall is a guide price of around €17,600 before any grant. A survey gives the exact figure.
Do I apply for the grant before work starts?+
Yes. The grant must be approved by SEAI before any work begins, otherwise it can't be paid.
