SEAI registered contractors — FAQ

Verified May 2026. Always confirm a contractor's current SEAI registration at seai.ie before agreeing to works.

How do I find an SEAI-registered contractor?▾

SEAI publishes a register of contractors approved for each grant measure (insulation, heat pump, Solar PV, windows & doors, etc.). You can search the official SEAI contractor register at seai.ie. HomeUpgrade.ie helps you understand which contractor type fits your home and route, and connects you with suitable SEAI-registered installers if you ask us to.

Are HomeUpgrade.ie contractors guaranteed to be SEAI-registered?▾

HomeUpgrade.ie summarises publicly available contractor data and only routes enquiries to providers who indicate they are SEAI-registered for the relevant measure. We are independent of SEAI and we do not certify contractors — always verify a contractor's current SEAI registration directly at seai.ie before agreeing to any works.

Do all SEAI grants require a registered contractor?▾

Yes. SEAI individual grants (Better Energy Homes), the One Stop Shop, and Solar PV all require works to be carried out by a contractor registered with SEAI for that specific measure. Using a contractor who is not registered for the measure permanently disqualifies your grant for that upgrade. The Warmer Homes Scheme is different — SEAI appoints the contractor for you.

Can I get more than one quote from SEAI-registered contractors?▾

You should. SEAI itself recommends getting at least three quotes before choosing a contractor. HomeUpgrade.ie can connect you with up to three suitable SEAI-registered providers in your county for a pre-application quote — works must not start until SEAI has issued written approval.

Where can I check if a contractor is SEAI-registered?▾

The official SEAI contractor register is on seai.ie under Home Energy Grants → Find a Registered Contractor. Always check the contractor is registered for the specific grant measure you are claiming (e.g. heat pump, attic insulation, solar PV) — registration for one measure does not cover others.
