Heat Pumps
Efficient heating, all year round
Air-to-water heat pumps replace your oil or gas boiler with a system that's up to 4× more efficient. They heat your home, your hot water and even your towel rails — using a small amount of electricity to move heat from the outside air.

Who it's for
Is heat pumps right for you?
- Homes on oil or LPG (typical saving €1,500–€2,500/year vs oil)
- New-build or well-insulated homes needing efficient primary heating
- BER-rated B3 or better (or upgrading insulation as part of the project)
- Homeowners considering the SEAI One Stop Shop package
Our process
How your heat pumps install works
Technical Assessment
SEAI-required survey — heat loss calculation, BER check, radiator sizing review. Included free.
Insulation top-up if needed
Attic and cavity insulation grants often combined for maximum efficiency and grant value.
SEAI grant application
We apply for €6,500 (standalone) or up to €12,500 (One Stop Shop with insulation).
Installation (2–4 days)
Outdoor unit + indoor cylinder, radiator upgrades if required, controls and commissioning.
BER certificate & sign-off
Post-install BER assessment triggers grant payment directly to your bank account.
Typical pricing
Heat pump cost depends on heat-loss, emitter upgrades and cylinder requirements. We give a fixed price after the free technical assessment, with the SEAI grant deducted at source.
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.

Frequently asked
Heat Pumps FAQ
Are heat pumps effective in Irish winters?
Yes. Modern air-to-water heat pumps extract heat from air down to −15°C. Irish winters rarely fall below −5°C, so units run at COP 3.0+ (300% efficiency) all year.
How much does a heat pump cost to run?
Typical 3-bed semi: €800–€1,200/year for heating and hot water — compared with €2,200–€2,800/year for oil at current prices.
Do I need new radiators?
Sometimes — heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures (35–50°C vs 65–75°C for oil), so oversized rads or underfloor heating work best. We assess this in the Technical Assessment.
How noisy is the outdoor unit?
Around 42–48 dB(A) at 3m — quieter than a fridge. We site units away from bedroom windows and neighbour boundaries.
Can I keep my existing oil boiler as backup?
You can, but it's rarely worth it. A properly sized heat pump handles 100% of Irish heating demand year-round. The SEAI grant requires the fossil-fuel boiler to be disconnected.
