    Hello

    I am looking into a new boiler and understand there are grants

    However I rang a couple of people who tell me for example it is 2500 for a boiler ,and 3200 if I apply for the grant, which makes no sense. There all seems to be this 700 in the difference which seems to be the grant amount, but surely it should be in the other direction, or is it just a wheeze ?

    Thanks

    There are no boiler upgrade grants anymore.
    you can get grants for
    solar water heating
    solar electricity
    Heat pump systems
    heating control upgrades
    Insulation

    I don't think your being quoted like for like here, 2.5k maybe a boiler only install, but the granted option would include controls upgrade (as required to obtain the grant) and the boiler install

    OK thanks for the information it looks like I will just keep going with what i have , I had thought there was SEAI grants for this stuff but as people have mentioned it does not appear so, which is a pity but at least I know now.

    There are grants for controls upgrades. Have a look at the SEAI site for details.

    Also on your next boiler service, run the idea of just using one past the RGI. One of you boilers might very well be able to be setup to heat the whole area.

    Please follow site and charter rules. "Resistance is futile"

    No more grants for gas boilers. There are greener ways to heat your home. I believe that there is a drive to have no new gas installations in new homes in 10 years time. Heat pumps are the way f in new homes

    This isn't exactly true - as has been stated, grants are available for heating controls.. this includes the boiler's time clock and zoned heating, which can be via 50% of your rads having TRVs vs. traditional zoned heating setup

    So you upgrade a boiler, get a few TRVs installed, and you can get over €700 off your install. I have received multiple quotes from installers suggesting the same, and have registered for a grant online. Just check here:

    https://www.seai.ie/resources/publications/Homeowners-Guide-To-Heating-Controls.pdf

    You don't *need* to get a boiler to qualify for the grant, but a higher efficiency boiler will also get you a higher carbon credit. So my current replacement is €3300 incl. VAT, but I am being charged €2300 after grants and carbon credit discount.
