    Is it necessary to have a B.E.R. assessment done before applying for a grant from the S.E.A.I?

    No. I applied first, then the installer did the Ber some months later.

    No, but you need one done after the install.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    For Heat Pump a technical assessment is required in advance - this is not strictly speaking a BER, but does require much the same sort of analysis - just to make sure that the house is properly insulated and will allow the HP to run efficiently.

    I recently moved into our home, a renovated 200 year old house, we have a applied for a few grants with SEAI and are about to post of DOW forms as expiry approaches this weekend. However, between the jigs and the reels and my own absolute stupidity I never realised we should have had a technical assessment carried out prior to installation of heat pump and now am very worried I will not be eligible for the 6.5k grant involved. We had a "dwelling details report" done prior to any works which I thought was all that was needed. Today I was informed by my ber assessor that a tech assess should have been done, bit late now. Anyone have any idea am I goosed? I have photos of the house pre works which was in an unhabitable state. I feel like such an idiot for not realising this before hand. The heat pump is in now but I feel I'm facing an absolute uphill task of getting a grant. I rang seai and they said submit everything I have and go from there...
