Homeowners must often pay upfront and claim back later.
Officials in the Department of Finance are being asked to look at greater supports for home energy upgrades.
Finance Minister Simon Harris says a long term look at energy security is needed.
Currently for many home improvement grants the householder has to pay upfront and then claim the money back, providing a large barrier to access for many people.
Offaly TD for Fine Gael John Clendennen says there should be no obstacle for people looking to upgrade their home:
