Heating Upgrades & Heating Controls
At Luca Line Services, we help Dublin homeowners carry out wholesale upgrades on their property that make them eligible to receive the SEAI Better Home Scheme grant.
The grant is awarded to homeowners who carry out energy-efficient works to their homes. And with a wide range of grants available, there’s never been a better time to upgrade your home.
Whether you are looking for a heating controls upgrade, a heat pump system or insulation, upgrades are encouraged with grant values increasing when three to four upgrades are completed.
Improve the energy efficiency of your home.

Benefits of Energy-Efficient Homes
Homeowners can reduce their energy usage by 20% with easy to use heating controls and ensure their property is zoned for efficiency in order to make further savings.
As well as savings, homeowners will enjoy greater comfort in their home. Luca Line Services take great pride in providing their customers with cosy and relaxing living spaces to spend time in.
We will be there to advise you on the best measures to improve the warmth and comfort of your home.
Heating controls: the quickest win
Modern heating controls let you heat only the rooms you use, at the times you need. A typical upgrade includes a programmable timer, room thermostats that split your home into separate zones, and thermostatic radiator valves. SEAI pays a fixed grant of €700 towards a heating controls upgrade.
Heat pumps
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air, or from the ground, and uses it to heat your home and hot water. It works best in a well-insulated home, so we always look at your walls and attic first. SEAI requires a technical assessment before you apply for a heat pump grant, to confirm your home is ready.
Heat pump grants were increased in February 2026. We confirm the current grant amount for your home during the survey, or you can check seai.ie.
Which upgrade should you do first?
- Insulate: start with attic insulation and wall insulation to cut heat loss.
- Control: upgrade your heating controls so you only use the heat you need.
- Replace: once heat loss is under control, a heat pump can heat your home efficiently.
