Eligibility, timelines and the paperwork that trips people up — explained without the jargon.
SEAI grants can take a meaningful chunk off the cost of upgrading your heating — but the process confuses a lot of homeowners, and small mistakes cause big delays. Here's the plain-English version.
What's typically supported
Grant support commonly covers heat pump systems and the fabric upgrades that make them work well. Exact amounts and rules change year to year, so always confirm current values on the SEAI website before you commit.
The step most people miss
For heat pump grants a technical assessment of your home is usually required before any work begins. Start work first and you can disqualify yourself from the grant entirely. Sequence matters.
Getting the paperwork right
- Register and get grant approval before any installation starts
- Use registered contractors — non-registered work isn't eligible
- Keep every invoice, BER certificate and assessment report
- Mind the deadlines between approval and completion
