How it works, in plain English. OUTSIDE, IN.
No flames, no fuel deliveries. Just a fan, a compressor and a loop of warm water doing the work your boiler used to.
Hot water, to your homeCooled, back for more
-
01Outdoor air
It takes heat from the air.
A fan draws outdoor air over a coil of refrigerant. Even cold air holds heat, and the refrigerant soaks it up.
-
02Inside the unit
It turns the heat up.
A compressor squeezes the refrigerant, which pushes its temperature up. It’s your fridge’s trick, run the other way.
-
03Your home
It heats your home and water.
That heat passes into the water in your radiators or underfloor pipes, and into your hot water cylinder.

Pick up the thermal camera. SEE THE HEAT.
Move it over the house. Warm rooms glow. A cold roof means the heat is staying inside. And the air leaving the heat pump runs colder than the night, because it has just handed its heat to the house.

Before the grant: four boxes. IS YOUR HOME READY?
Built before 2021
SEAI’s grant is for homes built and occupied before 2021, owned by the person applying (landlords count too).
Has an MPRN
The 11-digit number on your electricity bill. The application needs it.
Holds on to its heat
Heat pumps need a well-insulated home. Built before 2007? A technical assessment comes first, unless a valid BER shows a Heat Loss Indicator of 2.3 or less.
Grant approved first
SEAI has to approve the grant before any work starts. We sort the application with you, so nothing goes in early.
Fair questions. ASKED A LOT.
Anything else, ask a real person: 01-906 9385
Do heat pumps actually work in an Irish winter?
Yes. A heat pump keeps drawing heat from the outdoor air right through the winter. What matters most is how well your home holds on to that heat, which is why SEAI asks about insulation before the grant.
Will my radiators still work?
A heat pump runs the water in your radiators cooler than you’re used to, so some rooms may need a bigger radiator to stay just as warm. The survey tells us which, if any. Where upgrades are needed, SEAI’s central heating grant covers up to €2,000, where eligible.
How long does installation take?
Around 5 working days on site for a typical home. The grant approval comes before that, and we line the dates up with you.
Who applies for the grant?
We handle the paperwork with you. You’ll need your MPRN, and SEAI must approve the grant before work starts. Once you get the offer, it’s valid for 30 days.
When does SEAI pay the grant?
Once the works are complete and signed off. The grant can never be more than the cost of the works.
I already have a heat pump. Can I get a grant to replace it?
If the one you have was never grant-aided, SEAI gives up to €6,500 (€4,500 for apartments) towards a replacement. The bonus and central heating grants don’t apply. Try it in the grant builder above.
