Smart control, lower running costs

We install — you apply directly

We design a simple, reliable controls upgrade for your system — time and temperature control with sensible zoning. You submit the SEAI application; we supply the survey details, quote, photos and post-works documents required to complete your claim.

What the controls grant covers

  • Programmable thermostats – accurate time & temperature control.
  • Zoning kit – motorised valves, wiring centre & cylinder stat where required.
  • Neat commissioning & labelling – clear schedules set with you at handover.
  • Optional smart hub/app – brand-dependent; we’ll specify what suits.

Grant amounts and conditions are set by SEAI and updated periodically. We’ll confirm the latest details during your survey.

What customers say

“The zoning upgrade made a huge difference. We can heat downstairs in the morning and bedrooms later without wasting energy. The paperwork for the grant was simple once Premier sent everything through.”

— Brian L., Sligo

“Premier handled the whole controls install neatly and explained how to use the programmer. Our bills are already lower and the house feels warmer.”

— Mairead K., Kilkenny
