Viessmann urges domestic installers to consider lower-output boilers.

With the cost of living and energy crises deepening and as the country hits much colder winter temperatures, Irish homeowners facing boiler replacements are looking for ways to reduce the cost of a new boiler, increase efficiency and lower their bills. 

One way in which heating installers can help is to check, in the case of system boilers, that the output of the proposed model matches the heat demand of the home. It is often the case that installers replace a boiler like-for-like when it comes to output. This often results in boilers being specified with a higher output than actually needed. Viessmann is urging installers to consider fitting a lower output boiler if possible.

SEAI Heat Pump Grants: How to Apply and Qualify for Financial Assistance

Introduction to SEAI Heat Pump Grants

The SEAI Heat Pump Grants program is an initiative by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) to encourage the adoption of renewable energy sources for heating purposes. The program provides financial assistance to homeowners and businesses who wish to install heat pump systems on their properties. This article will provide a comprehensive guide to the SEAI Heat Pump Grants program, including information on eligibility criteria, application process, required documentation, grant amounts, and tips for maximizing the benefits of the grant.

Transitioning to renewable energy sources is crucial in combating climate change and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Heat pumps are an excellent alternative to traditional heating systems as they use renewable energy from the air, ground, or water to generate heat. By using heat pumps, we can significantly reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Heat pumps offer several benefits over traditional heating systems. They are highly efficient, providing more heat output than the energy they consume. This results in lower energy bills and reduced operating costs in the long run. Heat pumps also provide both heating and cooling capabilities, making them versatile and suitable for all seasons. Additionally, they require minimal maintenance and have a longer lifespan compared to conventional heating systems.
