Does my home in Kilkenny qualify for a grant?
A home built and occupied before 2021 usually qualifies. Housing across Kilkenny varies a lot, so the survey decides rather than the county. A registered installer confirms eligibility during a free survey before anything is committed.
Do I need to use an installer based in Kilkenny?
No. SEAI registration is national rather than county by county, so a contractor listed under a neighbouring county can quote for your home and handle the grant the same way. Getting two or three quotes is the only reliable way to see what the work should cost.
