The Energy Smart Community is basically a scheme that allows you and your local community to join together to improve the energy-efficiency of your homes while availing of energy-saving grants from the government.

The Energy Smart Community works on the simple principle that by bringing people together into "clusters" to co-operatively improve the energy efficiency of their home. The "cluster" will strengthen its buying power with its contractor and so save money and energy while making their home warmer and more comfortable to live in.

As so often with many government grant schemes the homeowner can find themselves at the mercy of contractors when trying to avail of the grant. In the past some contractors and suppliers have simply upped the price of the equipment and labour to the extent that any benefit from the grant is often lost to the homeowner.

The Energy Smart Community swings this relationship back in favour of the homeowner. Because the Energy Smart Community does not represent the interests of any supplier or contractor we can to get the best price for you and your neighbours and maximise your buying power and thereturn on your investment.
