1. About this tool
ClearHeat is a financial screening tool that helps Irish homeowners estimate whether a heat pump is likely to save money compared to their current heating system. It is operated at clearheat.ie.
By using this website and calculator, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
2. Not financial or professional advice
The outputs produced by ClearHeat — including verdicts, payback estimates, NPV figures, and scenario analysis — are estimates based on the inputs you provide and a set of modelling assumptions. They are provided for informational purposes only.
ClearHeat does not provide financial, tax, engineering, or professional advice. The tool is not a substitute for a home energy assessment or site survey by a qualified assessor or SEAI-registered installer. Before making any decision about purchasing a heat pump, you should obtain professional advice appropriate to your circumstances.
3. Accuracy of results
Results depend entirely on the accuracy of the inputs you provide. ClearHeat makes no warranty that the calculator outputs are accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose.
Actual savings, payback periods, and financial outcomes will differ from modelled estimates based on real-world factors including: actual heat pump performance, installation quality, changes in energy prices, changes to grant levels, occupant behaviour, and the physical characteristics of your home.
4. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ClearHeat shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this tool or reliance on its outputs, including any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss. This includes but is not limited to financial loss arising from a decision to purchase or not purchase a heat pump.
5. Installer referrals
If you submit your contact details to request installer quotes, ClearHeat will pass your details to a registered installer from its network. ClearHeat does not endorse any specific installer and is not responsible for the quality, pricing, or conduct of any installer it refers you to. Any contract for installation is solely between you and the installer.
