What is the process?
Firstly, you must contact and engage an independent SEAI registered Technical Advisor as listed here: www.seai.ie/resources/find-a-registered-professional/SEAI-Registered-Technical-Advisors.pdf
Once the Technical Assessment is complete, you must upload your assessment document via the Online Application Wizard: www.seai.ie/grants/home-energy-grants/how-to-apply
Don’t forget to follow the Technical Advisor’s recommendations to upgrade the fabric to the required level to qualify for the heat pump grant. The fabric upgrades may be undertaken in conjunction with the heat pump system installation. Multiple upgrade measures may be included in a single grant application.
