Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to pay the full amount upfront?
Depending on the grant type, you generally pay the contractor the net cost (the total minus the grant amount), and the SEAI pays the grant directly to the registered contractor. We will explain the exact payment structure during your free survey.
Does McGee Insulation help with the SEAI paperwork?
Yes. As a registered SEAI contractor serving the North West, we advise our customers on how they should submit their grant application form to ensure it is stress-free.
