Start by checking the SEAI heat pump grant guidance and arrange a technical assessment with an SEAI-registered heat pump contractor. The assessment should consider your home’s insulation, heat-loss calculation, radiators and electrical supply, and may identify upgrade work needed before installation. If the project appears suitable, apply through the SEAI process and receive approval before any grant-eligible work begins. Your registered contractor can then install and commission the system, after which the required paperwork is submitted for grant payment. SEAI makes the final decision based on your home and application details, so confirm the current rules directly with SEAI.
