One of the three eligibility criteria under the Better Energy Warmer Homes Scheme is that the home must be built and occupied before 2006. This means that the ESB meter was connected, and the property was lived in prior to 2006. The grants which are available, and their respective eligibility criteria, were selected as they are deemed most likely to deliver significant energy savings to homeowners at the best value for money for the Exchequer. It is important to note that the grants available aim to maximise emission reductions and deliver energy savings for the widest range of homeowners possible. Dwellings built from 2006 onwards are covered by the energy performance requirements of the 2003 Building Regulations (Part L).
