3 Exact Questions to Ask Your Contractor to Knock €4,000 Off
Use these exact technical questions during your quote review to eliminate phantom markups and protect your SEAI grant:
1️⃣
Demand Room Heat Loss (HLI) Cert
"Can you provide the NSAI SR50-2 calculation showing why an 8kW heat pump won't suffice?" (Stops oversized €3,000 upgrades).
2️⃣
Challenge the Buffer Tank
"Why is a separate buffer tank required if primary circuit volume exceeds 10L/kW?" (Cuts ~€1,800 in extra plumbing equipment).
3️⃣
Verify Grant Deduction Net
"Are you deducting the full €12,500 SEAI grant upfront or charging interest on the gross invoice?" (Protects your cash flow).
