The SEAI Heat Pump Grant Covers Up to €12,500 (as of July 2026)
Heat pump installers in Ireland are only worth booking if they can unlock the SEAI grant, and the heat pump grant of up to €12,500 (as of July 2026) covers a significant share of an air-to-water installation. To qualify, the installer must be registered with SEAI, and every installer listed on hvacinireland.ie carries that registration.
The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland administers the grant on behalf of the government. You apply once the work is agreed, then SEAI pays directly into your bank account, usually within six to eight weeks of a successful application.
Most homes qualify. If your house was built and occupied before 2021 and does not already have a heat pump, you are very likely eligible, and your installer confirms it during a free home survey before any work starts.
Insulation comes first. Good fabric makes a heat pump far more effective and cuts running costs, so most advisors recommend upgrading the house before installation, ideally with an SEAI-registered insulation contractor.
- Grant up to €12,500 for air-to-water heat pumps (as of July 2026)
- Homes built and lived in before 2021 usually qualify
- Installer must be SEAI-registered, every listed installer is
- Apply through SEAI once the installation is agreed
What a Heat Pump Costs, Before and After the Grant
Heat pump cost in Ireland depends on the system. An air-to-water heat pump, the standard choice for Irish homes, runs between €12,000 and €18,000 before grants, which the SEAI grant brings down to a net €5,500 to €11,500. Ground source systems cost more to install but return higher efficiency over their lifetime.
The final figure turns on your home. Radiator sizing, hot water demand and how much pipework needs replacing all move the price, which is why a free home survey matters before any quote is signed. A heat pump also needs a dedicated electrical supply, so it is worth lining up a RECI-registered electrician to carry out the connection.

Solar Panel Installers Registered with SEAI
Solar panel installers across Ireland fit photovoltaic panels that turn daylight into electricity, cutting the amount you draw from the grid. The SEAI solar PV grant supports installations up to a set capacity, and every solar installer listed here is registered to deliver grant-eligible work.
Solar pairs well with a heat pump. Panels can offset the extra electricity a heat pump draws, which improves the running-cost case for both, so many homeowners fit them together. A typical 4 kWp system runs €8,000 to €12,000 before the SEAI grant, and solar panel cost in Ireland breaks that down by system size. A solar PV connection needs a registered electrician to certify the work and register it with the grid.

- 177 solar thermal installers for hot water systems
- Grant-eligible and ready to quote across all 26 counties

- Direct contact with the installer, no lead-selling
From Choosing an Installer to Grant Payment in Four Steps

Pick a heat pump installer in your county from the listings. Every installer here appears on the official SEAI registered contractor database, which is a requirement for claiming the grant.
Book a Free Home Survey
The installer visits your home to assess insulation, radiators and hot water needs. A BER rating of C or better is recommended, and the survey confirms whether your home is heat pump ready.
Apply for the SEAI Grant
You apply to SEAI for the heat pump grant of up to €12,500 (as of July 2026). The installer must be registered for the grant to be paid, and the application is made once the work is agreed.

Heat Pump Installation in Ireland, Answered
How much does a heat pump cost in Ireland?
A typical air-to-water heat pump installation costs between €12,000 and €18,000 before grants. The SEAI grant of up to €12,500 (as of July 2026) brings the net cost to between €1,500 and €11,500, depending on what you are replacing and whether heating upgrades are needed. Ground source systems cost more but deliver higher efficiency.
Is my home suitable for a heat pump?
Most homes built after 2000 with reasonable insulation are suitable. Older homes may need insulation upgrades first, and a BER rating of C or better is recommended before installation. An SEAI-registered installer can carry out a free home survey to confirm suitability.
What SEAI grant is available for heat pumps?
SEAI offers a grant of up to €12,500 (as of July 2026) for an air-to-water heat pump and up to €7,500 for an air-to-air system. The installer must be SEAI-registered and you apply to SEAI after the installation is complete. Every installer listed here is SEAI-registered and grant-eligible.
How long does heat pump installation take?
Most residential heat pump installations take two to three days. This includes fitting the outdoor unit, running internal pipework and replacing or adding a hot water cylinder if the existing system does not have one.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Ireland?
Air-to-water heat pumps are generally exempt from planning permission in Ireland, provided the unit meets certain size and noise output conditions. Ground source systems may require permission depending on location. Your SEAI-registered installer will confirm requirements during the survey.
What is the difference between air source and ground source heat pumps?
Air source heat pumps extract heat from outdoor air and are the most common type in Ireland, with lower installation costs. Ground source systems extract heat from underground pipes and are more efficient but cost significantly more to install. Most Irish homes opt for air source.
