External expert review: HeatWise Home does not currently publish named external expert reviewers. We are working toward adding independent review from qualified retrofit, heating, or building-energy professionals. Until then, users should treat our calculators and guides as educational planning tools and confirm decisions with official sources and qualified installers.

Medium confidence

Energy prices, grant rules, and installation costs change frequently. The figures on this page are planning ranges, not quotes. Always confirm your current tariff, delivered fuel price, installer scope, and eligibility in the named references linked below.

Current SEAI heat pump grant components (planning view, checked 2026-04-28)

Use these figures only as planning inputs. Final grant value depends on dwelling type, route, and technical eligibility checks in your application.

Always verify the latest figures and route conditions on SEAI before you commit to works.

Inputs this estimator asks you to check

1) Dwelling type (detached, semi-detached/end terrace, mid-terrace, or apartment).

2) Existing heating being replaced (oil, gas, solid fuel, electric storage, or other).

3) Whether central heating distribution upgrades may be needed (radiators, underfloor, controls).

4) Whether a technical assessment is likely to be required for your home and route.

5) Whether you plan to use a One Stop Shop route or an individual self-managed route.

How to interpret your estimate safely

Use this page to build scenarios, not promises. A high estimated grant still needs route-specific eligibility confirmation, technical assessment outputs, and compliant installer documentation.

The estimator is educational only and does not apply SEAI approval logic. Treat outputs as a shortlist tool before formal application.

Recommended next steps

Check official SEAI guidance and confirm your route-specific requirements.

Use the Ireland heat pump cost calculator to test running costs and simple payback after applying your cautious grant assumption.

Review the calculator methodology page so your assumptions are consistent across costs, grants, and payback.

Disclaimer

This SEAI Heat Pump Grant Calculator is an independent educational estimator. It is not operated by SEAI and does not provide eligibility decisions, funding approval, or legal advice.
