41.1% of homes in County Wicklow are heated by oil — above the national figure of 38.9%, the 23rd highest of the 26 counties.
Where an oil boiler is replaced by a heat pump, SEAI’s heat pump grant includes €2,000 for removing it; until then, an oil boiler needs its annual service like any other.

Hiring a heating engineer in Wicklow

Heating work covers servicing and repairing oil and gas boilers, power flushing, radiators and controls — and, increasingly, replacing a fossil-fuel boiler with a heat pump. Anything that touches a gas appliance or gas pipework is reserved by law to a Registered Gas Installer.

The busiest months are October to January. A boiler service booked in summer is easier to schedule and usually finds the problem before the first cold week does.

Rules and grants that apply in County Wicklow

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).

What heating engineers in Wicklow 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.

What heating upgrades cost: SEAI’s median figures

Heating controls, detached house	€3,700

Median cost of grant-supported upgrades completed January–June 2026, as reported by contractors to SEAI — before the grant is deducted.

SEAI — median costs of individual energy upgrades, January–June 2026

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?
