What areas does The Heatpump People cover?
The Heatpump People is based in Galway and takes work across the county, including Galway city, Oranmore, Athenry, Tuam, Ballinasloe, Loughrea, Clifden and Salthill. Most installers cover their whole county rather than one town, so it is worth confirming your own address when you call.
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 The Heatpump People.
What grant can I claim on work by The Heatpump People?
Grants may be available for eligible homes. SEAI lists support of up to €12,500 for the full heat pump package as of July 2026, and SEAI decides eligibility. Confirm how the application and payment work with The Heatpump People and with SEAI before any work starts.
Does my home in Galway qualify for a grant?
A home built and occupied before 2021 usually qualifies. Housing across Galway varies a lot, so the survey decides rather than the county. A registered installer confirms eligibility during a free survey before anything is committed.
The Other Trades a Galway Retrofit Needs
A renewable heating upgrade rarely happens on its own, and the order the work goes in decides what it costs. These are SEAI-registered trades covering Galway on our sister sites, each one worth lining up before the heating work starts rather than after.
- Alongside the installation Plumbers and gas installers in Galway Taking out an old oil or gas boiler, reworking the heating circuit and fitting the hot water cylinder is usually done by a registered plumber, and a heat pump is usually commissioned by a qualified, registered professional.

SEAI Heat Pump Grant for Work by The Heatpump People
SEAI support for a heat pump is up to €12,500 (as of July 2026) for eligible homes. Ask The Heatpump People how the grant application and payment would work for your job, and confirm the details with SEAI before any work starts.
It is worth knowing how the total breaks down before the survey. The heat pump itself carries €6,500, a Renewable Heat Bonus applies where you are replacing an oil, gas, solid fuel or electric storage system, and a further amount goes towards heating system upgrades such as new radiators. Asking for the quote to set those out separately makes the net figure clear rather than leaving it to be worked out later.
