Your BER rating can help show how energy-efficient your home is, but the SEAI heat pump grant is not simply awarded according to a higher or lower BER score. Eligibility and the available support depend on factors such as the property, existing heating system, heat-loss assessment and the work being carried out. A registered heat pump contractor can assess whether the home is suitable and explain how the upgrade may affect its BER. Check the latest requirements and grant rates on the official SEAI website, as final decisions rest with SEAI and the relevant contractor.
