Heat pumps are suitable for installation in most modern Irish homes and will handle your home’s heating needs efficiently and effectively, helping you to save money on your energy bills due to its low maintenance and operating costs.

An increasingly common choice among Irish energy consumers, a heat pump reduces your home’s carbon footprint with zero on-site carbon emissions; a key benefit as we strive to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels for a more sustainable future. The Programme for Government and the Climate Action Plan set ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings, including our homes, with targets to retrofit 500,000 homes to a Building Energy Rating of B2 and to install 400,000 heat pumps in existing buildings over the next 10 years.

Inefficient heating systems are wasteful of energy and costly to run because of the amount of fuel needed to maintain adequate comfort levels and hot water in the home. Replacing a conventional heating system (Oil or Gas Boiler) with a heat pump system, particularly in a well-insulated dwelling, can transform the comfort levels in the home while reducing running costs, energy usage and harmful greenhouse gas emissions. 

In addition, the heat pump system can eliminate oil and gas bills from the home. To install a heat pump system, you must ensure your home is well insulated and that you have good double or triple glazed windows. In this way your heat pump system will perform well and your electricity bills will be low.
