    The HRI is not a grant system.
    The grant system is administered by the SEAI who will give grants for any sustainable home improvement works using registered contractors from their list.

    The HRI is a VAT incentive linked to tax credits for any improvement works such as kitchens, tiles, gardens etc etc

    But to answer the question, grants for insulation are still in place as it’s an SEAI program.
    Can’t confirm about the HRI scheme just yet as I’m not 100% it’s still in place but I imagine it is and will be extended into 2019.

    Doesn't look like the HRI has been extended in the budget, so will close March 2019.

    In order to qualify for the HRI, the work must be done between 25 October 2013 and 31 December 2018 for homeowners; between 15 October 2014 and 31 December 2018 for landlords; and between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2018 for local authority tenants. The only exception to the closing date is if planning permission is required for the work. If this is the case, planning permission must be in place by 31 December 2018, but you have until the 31 March 2019 to complete and pay for the work.


    This ends on 31 December 2018 for the vast majority, see above.
