Heat-pump grants and eligibility in Ireland

Check the current SEAI scheme, complete any required assessment and receive grant approval before starting work.

A solar PV grant can reduce eligible installation cost, while export payments depend on metering, supplier terms and electricity sent to the grid.

Compare estimated annual cost using your own consumption, then check contract length, discounts and exit fees.

Check billing period, meter readings, tariff and usage before assuming an appliance fault or price rise.

Ireland has binding emissions goals for 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050, supported by carbon budgets and sectoral ceilings.

Check current eligibility, obtain the grant offer before installation and keep the certificates needed for payment.

Assess heat loss, emitters and electrical capacity before replacing a boiler, then size the system from evidence rather than floor area alone.
