Heat Pump Grants Ireland | Up to €12,500 SEAI Support

Heat pump grants in Ireland have increased, making renewable heating more affordable than ever. The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) has enhanced its heat pump grant scheme, with total financial support now available up to €12,500 for eligible homeowners.

This increased support is designed to help households switch from oil or gas heating to energy-efficient heat pump systems, reducing both carbon emissions and long-term heating costs.

What Does the SEAI Heat Pump Grant Include?

The updated SEAI heat pump grant is made up of three key components:

Heat Pump Equipment Grant (€6,500): Get a major boost toward installing an air source or ground source heat pump. Open to all eligible homeowners and installed by SEAI-approved contractors like NuSolas Energy.
Radiator & Pipework Upgrade Support (€2,000): Optional but handy! Upgrade your radiators or pipes if needed to make your heat pump run at peak efficiency. Claim only if upgrades are required.
Renewable Heating Bonus (€4,000): Automatically added when you switch from fossil fuels to a renewable heat pump. No radiator or pipework changes needed, just a clean, green heating upgrade!
