What it is
Toward a heat pump and related upgrades where your home is suitable.
Who can get it
- You own the home, whether as an owner occupier, landlord, company, charity or Approved Housing Body (holiday homes also qualify)
- The home was built and occupied before 2021 and has an electricity connection (an MPRN)
- The home is well insulated, with a low enough heat loss for a heat pump to work well
- You use an SEAI registered contractor and apply to SEAI before the work starts
- The grant is a bundle of three. Up to €6,500 for the heat pump, up to €2,000 for new radiators or underfloor heating if needed, plus a €4,000 bonus for replacing an oil, gas, solid fuel or electric storage heating system.
- Homes built before 2007 need a technical assessment to check heat loss first. There is a €200 grant towards it. Homes built from 2007 on do not need one.
- An air to air heat pump does not provide hot water. Its grant is up to €7,500.
- You can manage the job yourself, or let a One Stop Shop handle it and take the grant off the price upfront.
- The grant can never be more than the total cost of the works.
