The pilot Home Energy Saving Scheme, which I launched in April this year, is being managed locally in Counties Limerick and Clare by the Limerick Clare Energy Agency. The Agency sought expressions of interest by 30 May last from suppliers and installers of insulation products, double glazing, heating system controls, hot water system controls (timers, thermostats — programmers) and hot water cylinders (pre-insulated). The Agency specified certain criteria in its public notice, including possession of a current tax clearance certificate, relevant insurances, health and safety statement, appropriate product/installation certification of standard, and an ability to provide services in the Limerick and Clare areas between July and December this year. No separate certification or accreditation from my Department is required.
