Check the Register First
Registration is checkable. The SEAI register is public. It is not a review, but it does mean nominated personnel who install or supervise are on file, which a pure supplier cannot have.
How to choose an installer →Window and door installers in Ireland, taken from the SEAI public register rather than ranked by whoever paid. 589 contractors across all 26 counties, each showing what they are registered to fit and how many counties they cover. Find the ones based near you and ring them yourself.
Choosing between window and door installers in Ireland usually starts with a draught you cannot trace, a frame that has gone soft, or condensation that never quite clears. The job is almost never urgent, which is the useful part, because it leaves you time to compare properly instead of taking the first quote that lands.
Every contractor listed here comes from the SEAI public register, so each one is already approved to work on grant-supported home energy upgrades. Choose your county, see who is based there and who else covers it, and ring them yourself.
We are not an installer and we do not take a cut. Nobody pays to move up the list, and your details are never sold on.

See installers and costs →Four stages, and the two in the middle are where a cheap quote saves its money. Almost nothing fails through the glass: it goes at the joint where the frame meets the wall, and it is the making good that gets left out.
Every one of the 26 counties has its own page, led by the contractors registered at an address there rather than a national list reshuffled.
Each listing shows what they are registered to fit, how many counties they cover, and a Google rating where enough people have left one.
Every listing carries a phone number. Nothing goes through us and nobody pays to appear higher up.
The figure is contractors registered at an address in that county. Every county page also shows who covers it from elsewhere.
None of this is complicated, and all of it is the difference between a quote you can compare and one you cannot.

No survey, no quote. A price given over the phone is a guess. Sizes and opening types change the figure far more than the brand does, and neither can be established from a car.
What it costs →03
In writing, inside and out. Plaster inside and render outside both get disturbed. Agree who repairs what before the first frame comes out, because it is the usual gap between two quotes.

Six to twelve weeks. Made to measure frames are not stock. Colour and glazing choices push it out further, so the survey date is nowhere near the start date.

Worth a hardware service on anything over ten years old, and a survey before committing to a full replacement.
A full house of uPVC replacements on a three bed semi runs into several thousand, with aluclad noticeably higher. Sizes, opening types and how much making good is included move the figure more than the brand does, so price the job in writing after a measured survey.
Not as a standalone grant the way there is for attic insulation or a heat pump. Windows and doors are covered under the Warmer Homes Scheme, which is fully funded for eligible households, and inside a wider upgrade through the one stop shop route. Check your eligibility with SEAI directly.
Six to twelve weeks is normal, because frames are made to your measurements rather than taken off a shelf. Non standard colours and glazing push it out further, so order well before the cold weather.
It helps most on exposed elevations, on a noisy road, and in a house that is already well insulated. On a sheltered wall in an otherwise draughty house the money usually does more elsewhere first.
If the frame and hardware are sound and only the sealed unit has misted, yes, and it costs a fraction of a new window. If the frame has dropped or rotted, a unit swap is money spent twice.
SEAI will not register a pure supplier. Registration requires nominated personnel who install or supervise the work, which is why being on the register is the qualification we list against rather than something we assess ourselves.
