How long does SEAI take to pay the grant?
SEAI says to allow 4 to 6 weeks to process the payment once you claim. Before that come the works and a BER after them, and you have eight months from the offer to claim.
SEAI’s rule, in its own words
You have eight months from the offer to finish and claim.

Every claim needs a BER after the works.

Our plans assume about two months from paying the contractor to the grant arriving. That is our estimate, not SEAI’s figure.
