    If it's any help to you, I just had an SEAI fella out today to survey my house for the Warmer Homes Scheme and I'm only eligible for that because I have fuel allowance (ie. am on benefits), and I own the house (although I think it can be 'privately owned' whatever that means) - The warmer homes side of the SEAI (which is a full grant towards the insulation ) covers draught excluding the windows, cavity wall filling and attic insulation. It used to do more, but that's all they do at the mo I think. The other scheme is probably the part-pay one that covers a lot more different upgrades to your home, but I couldn't put anything towards a grant so couldn't go for that one. Link to homepage - maybe ye found it already :Dhttp://www.seai.ie/Grants/Warmer_Homes_Scheme/

    No mate, don't mind you asking....I didn't pay for that - I just rang up the SEAI and asked to be put on the list for the Warmer Homes Scheme cos I met the criterea of being on benefits and fuel allowance and I own my home. I'm not sure what happens when you're renting - if it's a council house or whatever? It took a year and a half of me waiting patiently, then ringing to find out where I was on the list, then finding out the company they had registered me with to do the work didn't know they were doing my area, then.....there's a lot more hassle. Finally got a surveyor last week. My advice for you is to register if you can, then follow it up quicker than I did and find out what's going on with your application. It won't happen overnight though....this is a broke country and not just because of the likes of you and me eh?
