Please note: Completion of the Home Energy Summary Report and approval for a SEAI grant does not oblige Bank of Ireland to provide a loan. Lending criteria, terms and conditions apply.

Warning: If you do not meet the repayments on your loan, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access credit, a hire- purchase agreement, a consumer-hire agreement or a BNPL agreement in the future.
Warning: The cost of your monthly repayments may increase.
