The Greener Homes Scheme, which is administered by Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI) on behalf of my Department, provides support to homeowners to invest in a range of domestic renewable energy heat technologies including solar panels, biomass boilers and stoves and heat pumps. There is no grant aid available for the conversion of solid fuel heating to an oil fired system as this would be against the ethos of the Greener Homes Scheme.
