Big Boost to SEAI Grants for Heat Pumps – What It Means for Homeowners

Great news for homeowners in the Republic of Ireland considering a renewable home heating upgrade! The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) has just announced a major increase to heat pump grant support, under the new National Residential Retrofit Plan 2026. The new support structure makes switching to low-carbon heating even more affordable and accessible — and Warmflow is ready to help you take full advantage of it.

What’s Changed? SEAI Heat Pump Grants Increased

From 3 February 2026, SEAI has widened and increased grant amounts for homeowners who want to upgrade to a renewable heating system. Most importantly:

• The heat pump system grant has been expanded to a maximum of €12,500, up from the former cap of €6,500.
• This includes the core heat pump grant plus support for radiator and pipework upgrades and a new renewable heating bonus to further reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
• Existing applications that haven’t yet been paid will also benefit from the increased levels.
