What does a heat pump installer do?
Air-source heat pump installs with SEAI grant support by vetted, insured installers — hot-water cylinder integration and commissioning included.
A heat pump installation replaces a gas, oil, or electric heating system with an air-source or ground-source heat pump that draws heat from the outdoor air or ground loops and delivers it into your home. It's the centrepiece of most modern deep retrofits in Ireland. A typical install covers the outdoor unit, indoor hot-water cylinder and controls, a buffer tank if needed, manifold and zoning upgrades, and reworking the radiator or underfloor system to run at lower flow temperatures. Done properly, it's sized from a room-by-room heat-loss calculation — not guesswork.
In Ireland, heat pump installation must be carried out by an SEAI-registered installer to qualify for SEAI grants — now worth up to €12,500 combined since the February 2026 increase. Most homes need a Technical Assessment first to check insulation and air-tightness — heat pumps run cooler than gas boilers, so the building fabric must be capable of holding heat. SEAI grant funding is conditional on a B2 BER, or a commitment to reach it. Most installers handle the assessment, the grant paperwork, and the BER updates as part of the package, so the process is more managed than it first looks.

How much does a heat pump installer cost in Ireland?
Indicative pricing — your actual quote will vary
Heat pump installation pricing depends on the size of the home, the existing heating system, and whether radiators need swapping to suit lower flow temperatures. Cylinder location, pipework condition, and any zoning upgrades also move the price, and insulation or air-tightness work needed to reach a B2 BER is priced separately. The figures below are indicative Irish ranges before SEAI grants are deducted — your matched trader will confirm exact costs in a free, no-obligation itemised quote after a Technical Assessment.
A 7–9kW air-source system suitable for a typical 3-bed semi runs €11,000–€14,500 installed before grant. SEAI support was increased in February 2026: up to €6,500 for the heat pump itself, up to €2,000 for heating-system upgrades, and a €4,000 Renewable Heat Bonus if you are switching from oil, gas, solid fuel or electric storage heating — up to €12,500 combined. Depending on which parts you qualify for, the homeowner cost on a typical install is around €2,000–€8,000. Larger 4-bed or detached properties push to €13,000–€18,000 pre-grant. Ground-source systems are €18,000–€30,000 pre-grant due to the borehole or trench cost. Radiator swaps for low-flow operation add €800–€2,500 depending on count. Whatever the system, insist on an itemised quote that separates the heat pump, cylinder, radiator work, and commissioning — it makes the post-grant figure easy to verify.
These are indicative ranges based on typical Irish jobs. Final pricing depends on scope, materials, and urgency. On Jobiit your matched trader sends one fully itemised quote (labour, materials, VAT) so there are no surprises.

Heat Pump Installer FAQs
Will a heat pump work in an older Irish home?
Yes, but only if the building fabric is suitable — meaning good insulation, decent air-tightness, and ideally a B2 or better BER. A pre-2000 home almost always needs insulation upgrades first (attic, walls, windows). Most installers won't quote without a Technical Assessment. Treating the home fabric first is also where the SEAI Better Energy Home grant pairs nicely with the heat pump grant.
Do I need to replace my radiators?
Often yes, partially. Heat pumps work most efficiently at lower flow temperatures (35–45°C vs 65–75°C for gas). Existing radiators sized for hot gas systems may be too small. Your installer will calculate room-by-room heat losses and identify which radiators need swapping for larger or double-panel units. In a typical 3-bed, 3–6 radiators are usually replaced; the rest stay.
How much does the SEAI grant cover?
Since February 2026, SEAI support for houses is worth up to €12,500 combined: up to €6,500 for the heat pump (air-source, ground-source, exhaust-air and water-to-water all qualify), up to €2,000 for heating-system upgrades, and a €4,000 Renewable Heat Bonus for homes switching from oil, gas, solid fuel or electric storage heating. Combined with the Technical Assessment grant (€200) and potential insulation grants under the One-Stop-Shop scheme, total SEAI funding can exceed €15,000 on a deep retrofit. Grants are paid to the installer at completion, so you only pay the post-grant figure.
Will my electricity bill go up?
Your electricity bill goes up because the heat pump runs on electricity, but your gas/oil bill goes to zero. Net heating costs typically drop 30–50% versus oil and 10–25% versus modern condensing gas. The savings are bigger if you pair with solar PV and a smart-tariff EV-style night plan. Run the numbers with your installer using your last 12 months of energy bills.
How long does the install take?
From signed contract to commissioning is typically 6–12 weeks: 1–2 weeks for SEAI Technical Assessment, 4–6 weeks for parts ordering and scheduling, then 3–7 days on site for the actual work. Disruption during install is moderate — your old system stays running until late in the install. Hot water can be off for 24–48 hours during the cylinder swap.
Will my details be shared with a list of heat pump companies?
No. Jobiit matches your job to one vetted local installer — the closest, best-rated trader available — not a call list. Jobiit doesn't run a bidding marketplace where dozens of businesses compete for your details, and messaging happens in-app. Every trader is ID-verified through Stripe Identity and holds valid public liability insurance, and heat pump grant work is carried out by SEAI-registered installers. Most homeowners receive a quote within a few hours.
