From quote to switch-on

Step 01

Free home assessment and quote

An engineer visits your home, looks at what suits it, and gives you a clear quote with the SEAI grant already worked in.

Step 02

Choose grants and finance

The grant reduces the price first. We work out what balance is left and whether finance suits you.

Step 03

Apply with Finance Ireland

We help you apply for the loan. Finance Ireland states that a credit decision is provided within 24 hours.

Step 04

We install

Once your finance is approved, we book your install and get your new system up and running.

Step 05

You repay monthly while you save

Monthly repayments start while lower electricity and heating bills can help offset the cost. Repayments may change if the variable rate changes.
