What heating engineers in Longford cost, and why

What jobs on Talqero came to

Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.

What affects the price

  • Fuel and appliance: oil, natural gas, LPG or a heat pump
  • A service, a repair (and the part), or a replacement
  • Number of radiators, and whether pipework or valves change
  • Call-outs in the evening, at weekends or in a cold snap
  • For a heat pump: the heat loss of the house, which decides its size and whether radiators must change
  • VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.

Rules and grants for gas and heating work

The rules in Ireland

Only a Registered Gas Installer (RGI) may install, replace, repair or service a gas appliance or gas pipework, and they must leave you a Declaration of Conformance.

  • The rule comes from the Energy (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2006 and is run for the Commission for Regulation of Utilities by Safe Energy Ireland.
  • For every gas job the RGI must complete a Declaration of Conformance certificate and give you the original copy straight away; it confirms the work meets I.S. 813.
  • Every RGI carries a photo ID card numbered R followed by four digits, renewed each year. Check it on the register at rgi.ie.
  • Oil boilers are not covered by a statutory register; ask for experience with your make of boiler and a combustion analysis printout after a service.

Grants

SEAI’s heat pump system grant is up to €14,500 for a house (€11,500 for an apartment), and heating controls on their own attract €700.

  • The €14,500 is made up of up to €10,500 for the heat pump, up to €2,000 for radiator or underfloor upgrades, and a €2,000 boiler scrappage grant when an oil or gas boiler, storage heaters or a solid fuel system is removed. SEAI announced the scrappage element on 29 September 2026, subject to final implementation arrangements.
  • Heat pump grants are for homes built and occupied before 2021. Homes built before 2007 need a technical assessment first (SEAI contributes €200) unless a valid BER shows a heat loss indicator of 2.3 W/K·m² or less.
  • The heating controls grant of €700 is for homes built and occupied before 2011, and cannot be combined with a heat pump grant.
  • Use a contractor on SEAI’s register and get grant approval before any work starts — work begun before approval is not grant-aided.
  • The grant must be drawn down within eight months of the offer, and a BER by a registered assessor after the works is required (SEAI contributes €50 towards it).

How long it usually takes

  • A boiler service: about an hour.
  • A power flush: usually a day.
  • A boiler replacement: one to two days.
  • A heat pump: usually several days on site, after the technical assessment and grant approval.

What to ask before you choose

  • For gas: may I see your RGI card, and will you leave a Declaration of Conformance?
  • What exactly does the service include — combustion analysis, nozzle, filters?
  • Is the part in stock, and what is the warranty on it?
  • For a heat pump: are you on SEAI’s contractor register, and who does the technical assessment?
  • Is VAT included?

Questions about hiring a heating engineer

Who may work on a gas boiler?

Only a Registered Gas Installer (RGI) may install, service or repair a gas appliance. Ask to see their RGI photo ID card and check the number on the register at rgi.ie before anybody touches a gas appliance.

How often should a boiler be serviced?

Most manufacturers ask for a yearly service to keep the warranty valid. Say in your task when it was last done.

Can I get offers for a service and a repair together?

Yes — describe both in one task. Each engineer prices the job as a whole, and you can ask them to break it down in the conversation.
