Rainplumbing, Common Questions
Is Rainplumbing SEAI-registered?
Yes. Rainplumbing appears on the official SEAI registered contractor database for heat pump installation in Carlow, which is what allows them to carry out grant-eligible installations and process your SEAI grant application.
How do I get a quote from Rainplumbing?
Contact Rainplumbing directly using the phone number on this page. Nothing goes through us, there is no booking fee, and your details are not passed to anyone else or sold on.
What areas does Rainplumbing cover?
Rainplumbing is based in Carlow and takes work across the county, including Carlow town, Muinebheag, Tullow, Hacketstown, Borris, Leighlinbridge and Bagenalstown. Most installers cover their whole county rather than one town, so it is worth confirming your own address when you call.
Does my home in Carlow qualify for a grant?
A home built and occupied before 2021 usually qualifies. Housing across Carlow varies a lot, so the survey decides rather than the county. A registered installer confirms eligibility during a free survey before anything is committed.
Do I need to use an installer based in Carlow?
No. SEAI registration is national rather than county by county, so a contractor listed under a neighbouring county can quote for your home and handle the grant the same way. Getting two or three quotes is the only reliable way to see what the work should cost.
What can Rainplumbing install?
They are registered with SEAI for heat pump installation and solar thermal. A contractor registered for more than one measure can fit them together and claim both grants, which saves coordinating two jobs.
