Heat Pumps
Installing a heat pump will take your energy saving to the next level and also reduce your carbon footprint significantly. The technology creates heat for your home by converting air from the outside. Because heat pumps don’t use fossil fuels like oil or gas, they are extremely beneficial for the environment. For this reason SEAI have offered a significant grant for heat pump installation as part of the government’s Climate Action Plan.

What kind of home is suitable for a heat pump?
Heat pumps are only effective in homes that have low heat loss. Essentially this means that they are well insulated already. It’s common for a pump to be installed after a number of other energy measures have been carried out. Windows and doors also play a huge role in ensuring your home is well insulated. In order to apply for a heat pump grant you will need to have an assessment of your home carried out by an SEAI Registered Technical Advisor. This is something House 2 Home experts can provide.
