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 installing a heat pump, you must ensure your home is suitable by having a Home Energy Assessment (HEA) with an SEAI-registered One Stop Shop (OSS). This assessment evaluates your home’s condition and outlines the steps to make it heat pump ready.
1. Contact a One Stop Shop (OSS):
Choose an SEAI-registered OSS provider who will guide you through the process, from assessment to installation.7
2. Home Energy Assessment (HEA):
Your OSS will arrange for a qualified assessor to conduct a Home Energy Assessment (HEA).8
3. Assessment Results and Information:
You’ll receive a detailed Home Energy Assessment report outlining your home’s energy efficiency.9
4. Next Steps to Getting a Heat Pump
Review your report with your OSS provider, who will help you choose a heat pump, apply for the SEAI grant, and arrange installation.10
The Home Energy Assessment includes a Building Energy Rating assessment, an energy efficiency report, upgrade recommendations to achieve a B2 rating, cost breakdown with savings and a consultation with a Technical Assessor to discuss results and next steps.
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.
