Substantial government subsidies make heat pumps more affordable for Irish homeowners.

What's happening?

1. Thousands of homes across Ireland have already upgraded their old boilers with heat pumps1.

2. Heat pumps can lower your heating costs by 30-70%2 and reduce your carbon footprint3.

3. There are a number of grants available from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland ( SEAI), depending on the route homeowners choose:

(a) If it’s an individual home upgrade focusing solely on heat pump installation, homeowners can claim between €4,500 (apartment) and €6,500 (house) off the cost of a heat pump.4

(b) Through the One Stop Shop route, customers can get up to €10,500 off a heat pump cost as part of a deep retrofit.5

Thousands of homeowners across Ireland are already reaping the benefits of heat pumps.

Heat pumps harness energy from the environment (typically the air to water) to heat your home using entirely renewable sources. They can also boost your home’s energy efficiency by up to 400%6, dramatically reducing energy consumption and heating costs.

How much does a heat pump cost?

Before moving towards a heat pump, it’s essential to determine if your home is suitable for one. It is required to have a Home Energy Assessment (HEA) with an SEAI-registered One Stop Shop (OSS). This detailed technical assessment evaluates your home’s current condition and outlines the steps needed to make it heat pump ready.

The Home Energy Assessment includes the following:

  • A Building Energy Rating assessment & a technical report on energy efficiency
  • Upgrade recommendations to achieve a B2 rating or better
  • A detailed quotation that includes potential savings
  • A one-to-one appointment with your own dedicated Technical Assessor who will discuss your Home Energy Assessment report (HEA).

Our One Stop Shop partners can provide guidance on the cost of the assessment and next steps to help you transition smoothly to a heat pump solution. Book a free phone consultation to discuss next steps on your home upgrade journey.

The cost of heat pumps has tumbled even further as the Irish government has reduced the VAT on heat pumps from 13.5% to 9% in its 2025 Budget7. With generous government grants available, and reduced VAT, there’s never been a better time to invest in a heat pump.

Heat pumps are the future of heating technology in the home.

Not only are heat pumps environmentally friendly, but thanks to their average lifespan of approximately 15 years8, they can also increase the value of your home as their benefits can be enjoyed for a long time.

This green technology will not only lower your heating costs, but heat pumps also create a more comfortable, healthier living environment and increase your home’s value in the long term9.
