Why switch from oil or gas

You are paying every year for heat a boiler only partly delivers

The average Irish oil bill is about €2,250 a year and the average gas bill about €1,750. A boiler burns fuel to make heat, and some of that energy is lost up the flue.

A heat pump does something different. It moves heat from the outside air into your home. That is why it can deliver the same warmth for much less spend.

How it works

Pay for 1 unit of electricity. Get 3 to 4 units of heat.

That is what "300 to 400% efficient" means. You pay for one unit of electricity. The heat pump collects the other two to three units of free heat from the outside air and brings it indoors.

  • Same comfort
    The same heat output as your current system, for heating and hot water.
  • Less purchased energy
    About 3.5 times less energy bought to deliver the same heat.
  • No fuel deliveries or gas bill
    Your heating runs on electricity alone. No tank, no flue, no top-ups.

Worried about electricity prices? You would still save up to 45%.

Your electricity bill will rise, but your oil or gas bill disappears, and the total falls. Irish electricity costs more per unit than oil or gas. A heat pump more than makes up for it because it needs only about a third to a quarter of the energy to deliver the same heat.

Modelled savings, not guaranteed. Based on SEAI July 2026 prices (electricity 34.38c, oil 12.60c, gas 13.00c per kWh), boiler efficiency of 70% (oil) and 90% (gas), and the heat pump's seasonal efficiency. Same heat delivered before and after: about 12,500 kWh a year for the oil home and 12,100 kWh for the gas home. Excludes standing charges and installation costs. Your result depends on your home, insulation and tariff.

Is your home suitable?

A heat pump works best in a home that holds its heat

Most Irish homes can take a heat pump. Some need a little preparation first, and SEAI has a few rules about which homes qualify for the grant. Here is what we check on the survey.

Built and occupied before 2021

That is the SEAI cut-off for the grant. Newer homes can still install a heat pump, but without grant support.

Homes built before 2007 need a technical assessment

An SEAI technical assessor checks how well your home holds heat and sizes the system. SEAI covers €200 of it. You can skip it if a valid BER already shows a Heat Loss Indicator of 2.3 or lower.

Insulation first, if the house leaks heat

A heat pump runs at a lower temperature for longer, so a draughty home will cost more to heat. If the assessment says so, we can bring attic or wall insulation into the same job.

Radiators, hot water and the electrics

Some radiators may need upsizing, which the €2,000 central heating grant is for. Older houses often need 16mm² tails and a board with capacity, which our electrical upgrades team handles before the heat pump goes in.

Heat Loss Indicator

One number decides your grant route

Your Heat Loss Indicator, or HLI, measures how quickly your home loses heat. SEAI uses it to decide which grants you can claim and whether you need a technical assessment first. Here is what the number means and where to find yours.

2.3
W/(K·m²)

2.3
5+

2.3 or lower: grant ready

Your home holds its heat well. Pre-2007 homes can self-declare for the heat pump grant without a technical assessment, and you qualify for individual grants such as windows and doors.

Above 2.3: insulate first

Attic or wall insulation usually brings the number down. A technical assessment or the SEAI One Stop Shop route can also give you some flexibility, and we can bundle the insulation into the same job.

Where to find your HLI

1

Check your BER Advisory Report

It is on page three of the Advisory Report, not on the BER certificate itself. Look for the line marked Heat Loss Indicator, in W/(K·m²).

2

Look it up online

The SEAI BER search lets you pull up your home's BER details and HLI using your MPRN or your BER certificate number.

3

No recent BER? Book an assessor

A registered SEAI BER assessor will calculate your current HLI. If you need one, we can point you to an assessor in your area.

Six steps to feelgood

From the first enquiry to the final BER, one team looks after the survey, the grant paperwork, the install and the sign-off.

1

Submit your enquiry

Complete the form and select "Heat Pump" as your enquiry type. Tell us how you heat the house now, roughly when it was built, and any insulation work already done.

2

Free home survey

We visit, look at the heating system, radiators, hot water, insulation and electrics, and tell you whether a heat pump suits the house before anyone spends money.

3

Technical assessment

For homes built before 2007, an SEAI technical assessment sizes the system and confirms the house is heat pump ready. We arrange it for you, and SEAI contributes €200 towards it.

4

Clear quote and grant application

You get an itemised quote showing the system, any radiator or electrical work, the grant you qualify for and what you pay. We submit the SEAI application and wait for approval before any work starts.

5

Installation

Our team fits the outdoor unit, cylinder and controls, connects the heating circuit and removes the old boiler or tank. Most installs take two to three days.

6

Commissioning, BER and grant drawdown

We commission the system, show you the controls, and arrange the post-works BER that SEAI needs before the grant is paid out.

I had a car charger installed by Dessie and a younger gentleman, who both were nothing but a pleasure to deal with. Super professional clean installation, the job was done within about 40 minutes. Emer in the office is the nicest person ever, thank you very much Ecoplex Crew, will get back to you next year for solar panels installation!

FAQ

The questions we get on every survey

Anything else, call us on 01 727 0515 and ask for the heat pump team.

Will my electricity bill go up?

Yes, but you stop paying for oil or gas. For a typical oil home the total falls from about €2,250 to about €1,230 a year.

How much will I save?

Up to 45% for oil homes and up to 32% for gas homes at 3.5 units of heat per unit of electricity. A free survey gives you a figure for your own home.

Is "4 units of heat" guaranteed?

No. It is the heat produced per unit of electricity over the year, and it depends on your home and the system design. We model 3.5 to be cautious.

Does this cover hot water too?

Yes. The system heats a hot water cylinder as well as the radiators, so one unit replaces both the boiler and the immersion.

What does the SEAI grant cover?

Up to €14,500 for a house or €11,500 for an apartment: up to €10,500 for the heat pump system, up to €2,000 for central heating work such as radiators, and €2,000 boiler scrappage when an oil, gas, solid fuel or electric storage system is removed. Pre-2007 homes also get €200 towards the technical assessment. Your home must have been built and occupied before 2021 and the installer must be SEAI registered.

Do heat pumps work in an Irish winter?

Yes. There is heat in the outside air well below freezing, and modern air to water units keep working at temperatures far colder than Ireland sees. Efficiency drops a little on the coldest days, which the seasonal figure already allows for.

Will I need new radiators?

Sometimes. A heat pump runs the water cooler than a boiler, so some radiators need to be larger to give out the same heat. The survey tells you which, and the €2,000 central heating grant is there for that work.

Is it noisy, and do I need planning permission?

The outdoor unit makes a low hum, about the level of a fridge, and sits outside. We position it away from bedroom windows and neighbours. Planning permission is generally not needed for a domestic air to water unit within the size and siting rules, which we check on the survey.

Can I combine it with solar panels?

Yes, and it is a good match. Solar covers part of the heat pump's electricity in spring, summer and autumn, and both grants can be claimed. Ask us about doing them together.
