Post-Technical Assessment: What Should I Do Next?

SEAI Grant for Heat Pumps

✅ Your Next Steps After Receiving the Technical Assessment Report:

• Review the Report Thoroughly:Go through the recommendations carefully and provide feedback if needed.

• Sign the Technical Assessment Form:This confirms your understanding and acceptance of the proposed upgrade path.

• Understand the Purpose:These measures are essential to reduce heat loss and ensure the efficient performance of your heat pump system.

  
  

⚠️ Key Considerations for BER and SEAI Heat Pump Grant Eligibility:

• Thermal Performance Matters:Your property must achieve a Heat Loss Indicator (HLI) of ≤ 2.00. Failure to meet this threshold may disqualify you from receiving both the heat pump system grant and technical assessment support.

• Criteria May Differ from Other SEAI Grants:The building fabric upgrade requirements in the technical assessment report may differ from those required under other SEAI grants (e.g. wall or roof insulation).👉 Ensure your insulation contractor is aware of these requirements and agrees to meet them.

• Contractor Compliance is Your Responsibility:You are responsible for ensuring that all contractors follow the specifications set out in the technical assessment report.📌 Optional: For an additional fee, your Technical Assessor can liaise directly with contractors to confirm compliance with SEAI criteria.

• Changes Must Still Meet HLI Requirement:If any installation differs from the original recommendations, the final HLI must still remain at or below 2.00 to qualify for the grant.

• Post-BER Must Reflect All Completed Works:The final BER cert must accurately document all upgrade measures to validate your heat pump grant claim.
