Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Irvinestown
Homes around Irvinestown range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Installers working in Irvinestown plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical. Many homes in Irvinestown have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows.
We survey your home, design a heat pump system around its real heat loss, and manage the installation from the first visit to the MCS certificate.
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
What's included
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
In Irvinestown, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland does not have a dedicated heat pump grant for homeowners at present, and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply here. Heat pumps have sometimes been funded through the Northern Ireland Sustainable Energy Programme, so it is worth checking what is open when you enquire about a home in Irvinestown.
Installing heat pumps has been zero-rated for VAT in Northern Ireland since 1 May 2023, in line with the rest of the UK, until 31 March 2027. Northern Ireland has its own permitted development rules and building regulations, and we confirm what applies to your Irvinestown property at survey.

Air source heat pump installation in Irvinestown: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Irvinestown?
A home survey in Irvinestown usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Irvinestown house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Irvinestown home.
Do you cover Enniskillen as well as Irvinestown?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Enniskillen, which is about 8 miles south of Irvinestown, and across County Fermanagh.
Will an air source heat pump be noisy?
Heat pumps are designed to run quietly, but where the unit sits makes a real difference. The survey looks for a position away from bedroom windows and neighbours, with clear airflow, and the installation must pass the MCS noise assessment. The fan is most noticeable on very cold days when the unit works hardest, and a little vapour during the periodic defrost is normal.
Can I cancel after accepting the quote?
Nothing is ordered until you accept the written quote. Where the contract is agreed away from our premises, for example at your kitchen table, you can cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If you ask us to start sooner and then cancel, you pay only for work done up to that point.
