The Better Energy Warmer Homes Scheme delivers a range of energy efficiency measures free of charge to low income households vulnerable to energy poverty. The scheme is funded by my Department and administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). To date over 143,000 homes have received free upgrades under the scheme leaving them better able to afford to heat their homes to an adequate level. The approximate average value of the energy efficiency measures provided to a household under the Better Energy Warmer Homes scheme was €14,800 in 2020.The retrofitting categories set out in the question are only used by SEAI in relation to the Warmer Homes Scheme.

Categorisation of measures under the scheme began in 2018 and as such, data is only available since then. The table below reflects the breakdown of works completed from January 2018 to June 2021.
