Replacement gas boiler - SEAI grants

    Hi,

    My gas boiler has recently broken down and needs to be replaced. I was looking at my options and I got a quote of around €2.5k for a new Ideal combi boiler, magnaclean, chemicals and a flush of my rads to get rid of sludge.

    I think I am entitled to apply for the SEAI grants for a replacement boiler and the plumber mentioned that if I wanted to apply for that, this would probably increase the cost of the job, as the SEAI require the job to be done to a higher spec.

    I was wondering if anyone else has experience of this and if there is a net cost difference once the grants have been claimed.

    Thanks in advance.

    Ahh right, I thought that there were separate grants, one for the boiler of about €400 and one for boiler and heating controls of €700 that you mentioned.

    Thanks for the reply.
