The first step is to engage with an independent SEAI registered Technical advisor for the heat pump grant. The dwelling should have a low level of heat loss in order to be suitable for the installation of a heat pump system. Your chosen technical advisor will carry out an assessment of your home and determine if it meets the requirements as set out by the SEAI to apply for the grant. The technical advisor will produce a report which will advise you on the works which may be necessary to make your home suitable by improving heat loss which may be occurring through the existing fabric or air permeability. These may include fabric upgrades such as insulation to the roof or walls, window or door upgrades, ventilation or air tightness upgrades. This report is submitted with your grant application to SEAI for consideration.
