SEAI Grants

Exhaust Air heat pumps

These Heat Pumps extract the heat in the outgoing stale humid air removed by extract vent from the bathrooms, utility & kitchen before its sent outside via external wall vent.
The Exhaust air heat pump uses this energy by recycling it back into the hot water & radiators or underfloor system. Fresh air is introduced via wall vents making sure that the property is fully ventilated.
This system is very compact with ultra low energy consumption.

Water Source Heat Pumps or Water to Water Heat Pumps are an innovative and efficient approach to home heating. These systems tap into the latent thermal energy found in water, serving as a medium for heat extraction. These are ideal where there is an abundant water source such as a river, lake, sea or underground resource such as a high yield water well. Typically these heat pumps are more efficient due to the high incoming temperature the water, This could add 30% to the efficiency and output of the heat pump depending on the application and source available.
