Should anything be done before the installation?
Insulation comes first on any home energy upgrade. A well-sealed house needs a smaller system and runs at a lower cost, and attic and wall insulation carry SEAI grants of their own. Ask about the fabric of the house when you speak to Seamus Whelan.

Because they are on the SEAI register, work carried out by Seamus Whelan is grant-eligible. SEAI pays up to €12,500 for the full heat pump package as of July 2026. The installer applies on your behalf and you pay the balance after the grant is deducted.
Does my home in Cork qualify for a grant?
A home built and occupied before 2021 usually qualifies. Housing across Cork varies a lot, so the survey decides rather than the county. A registered installer confirms eligibility during a free survey before anything is committed.
