Energy Upgrades for Homes Affected by Defective Concrete Blocks
At REIL, we provide expert guidance and full project management for homeowners affected by Defective Concrete Blocks (DCB) who want to take advantage of SEAI home energy upgrade grants. As an SEAI-registered One Stop Shop, we handle the entire process—from grant applications to project completion—helping you improve your home’s energy efficiency while carrying out necessary remediation work.
Our adherence to these prestigious certifications and industry partnerships ensures that every project we undertake meets the highest standards of quality, safety, and sustainability.
What is the DCB Scheme?
The Defective Concrete Blocks (DCB) Scheme is a government initiative supporting homeowners whose properties have been structurally compromised due to faulty concrete materials. While the scheme covers essential structural repairs, you can also apply for SEAI grants to improve your home’s energy performance at the same time—reducing energy bills and increasing comfort.
With REIL’s One Stop Shop service, you can seamlessly integrate energy upgrades into your DCB remediation project, ensuring the best long-term value for your home.
How REIL Helps You Access SEAI Grants
If You Haven’t Started or Completed DCB Remediation:
REIL provides a hassle-free, fully managed process to help you access energy upgrade grants. We take care of everything, including:
✅ One-Stop Shop Service: We manage the entire process for you, from the initial assessment to project completion.
✅ Pre-Works BER Assessment: A Building Energy Rating (BER) assessment is required before starting any upgrades. Our team will arrange this as part of your application.
✅ Guaranteed B2 BER Rating or Better: SEAI grants require your home to achieve at least a B2 energy rating after upgrades—our expert team ensures your project meets this requirement.
