Is Your Lanesborough Home Suitable for a Heat Pump?

Quick checklist below. For the full suitability guide, see Is My Home Suitable for a Heat Pump?

  • Home built and occupied before 2021
  • Heat Loss Indicator (HLI) of 2.0 or below
  • Adequate insulation — attic and wall insulation should be upgraded first if needed
  • Must have an MPRN (Meter Point Reference Number)
  • Not means-tested — no income limit applies

A registered BER assessor uses the DEAP (Dwelling Energy Assessment Procedure) software to calculate the Heat Loss Indicator (HLI). The HLI must be 2.0 or below for the SEAI Better Energy Homes grant.

Common Questions

Heat Pump Installation FAQ — Lanesborough, Co. Longford

A typical air-to-water heat pump installation for a 3-bed semi-detached home in Lanesborough costs between €12,000 and €18,000 before grants. After the SEAI Better Energy Homes grant of up to €12,500, the out-of-pocket cost can be as low as €1,500 to €5,500.

Homeowners in Lanesborough can claim up to €12,500 through the SEAI Better Energy Homes Scheme. This includes up to €6,500 for the heat pump, up to €2,000 for central heating upgrades, and a €4,000 renewable heat bonus for switching from oil, gas, or solid fuel heating.

Most homes in Lanesborough built before 2021 are eligible. The home must achieve a Heat Loss Indicator of 2.0 or below, which typically requires adequate attic and wall insulation. Pre-2007 homes need a Technical Assessment first.

Modern heat pumps typically run at 40–60 decibels at the outdoor unit, comparable to a quiet conversation or a dishwasher. Installers position the outdoor unit to minimise noise nuisance to neighbours and bedroom windows.

Yes. Modern air-to-water heat pumps are designed to operate efficiently at outdoor temperatures well below freezing, and Ireland's temperate climate rarely drops as low as the systems are rated for. Efficiency dips slightly on the coldest days but remains well above a fossil fuel boiler.

A well-maintained heat pump typically lasts 15–20 years, similar to or longer than an oil or gas boiler. Annual servicing helps the system reach the upper end of that range.

A typical residential heat pump installation takes 2–4 days, depending on whether radiator upgrades or underfloor heating are included. The full process from Technical Assessment to completion usually takes 6–12 weeks.
