What are the Benefits of a One Stop Shop Retrofit?
Increased Comfort Levels
One of the main benefits of a One Stop Shop energy upgrade is the comfort it provides year round. Whether it’s warm or cold outside, the indoor environment of your home will stay consistent throughout the year - making it more comfortable for everyone.
Reduced Energy Costs
A well planned and designed energy upgrade will reduce your energy costs over time. With an airtight and well-insulated home, you’ll spend less on heating and cooling, keeping more money in your pocket every month.
Less Environmental Impact
Home energy upgrades will reduce your home’s impact on the environment. You’ll use less energy and reduce your home’s carbon emissions both directly and indirectly - helping your local community and Ireland’s Climate Action Plan.

Combine the One Stop Shop with the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant
Did you know you can combine the One Stop Shop Grant Scheme with The Vacant Property Refurbishment Scheme? This scheme provides an additional funding amount of up to €50,000 to renovate a vacant property. The requirements include:
Homes built before 1993
Vacant for 2 years or more
A building that you own or in the process of buying it
You must reside in the home as your principle residence once the work is complete
You must have tax clearance from Revenue and your tax affairs must be in order
Local Property Tax must be paid
You have not received grant funding before
From 1st May 2023, the following requirements come into force:
Vacant properties built before 2007 (replaces vacant homes built before 1993)
People who want to rent our their property once they are refurbished (replaces the requirement for the home to be owner-occupied)
If the home is considered derelict, you can receive an additional €20,000 top up grant. To be considered derelict the home:
Must be on the Derelict Sites Register, or
Must be confirmed by the applicant to be derelict (i.e. structurally unsound and dangerous). If the home is not already on the Register, an independent report prepared by a qualified professional is required along with the application confirming the property is derelict.

KORE Retrofit does not administer the Vacant Property Refurbishment Scheme and you must apply separately for this scheme. However, once approved the grants can be combined to reduce your overall out of pocket costs.
