The Complete SEAI Heat Pump Grant Guide (2026)

The SEAI heat pump grant is worth €6,500 as a standalone upgrade or €12,500 when part of a One Stop Shop deep retrofit. To qualify, your home must reach a minimum heat loss indicator (HLI) of 2 W/m²K — most insulated Irish homes built after 2006 already qualify.

Who is eligible?

  • Homeowner-occupied properties built before 2021
  • Technical assessment passing the heat loss requirement
  • Installation by an SEAI-registered contractor
  • Older or poorly insulated homes may need insulation upgrades first

How much will it actually cost?

Heat pump cost depends on your home's heat-loss, emitter upgrades and hot-water cylinder needs. We give a fixed price after the free technical assessment, with the SEAI grant deducted at source. Running costs are typically 50–60% lower than oil heating, so the system usually pays for itself in 8–10 years.

Estimated figures only. Savings, payback, generation and running-cost numbers shown are indicative estimates, not guarantees. Actual results depend on your system size, roof orientation, shading, electricity tariff, self-consumption, grant eligibility, property condition and other factors.
