Air-to-air heat pumps in Ballymoney: what to expect
Every property in Ballymoney is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
For terraced homes in Ballymoney, the outdoor unit can often sit in a rear yard with tidy pipe runs to each room. Installers in Ballymoney plan condensate drains and pipe covers so indoor and outdoor runs stay neat.
An air-to-air heat pump warms rooms directly with air, and can cool them in summer, but it does not heat your hot water.
- Extensions, conservatories and garden rooms
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
- Households that already have, or will add, a separate source of hot water
What's included
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
A survey in Ballymoney covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across County Antrim.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Northern Ireland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales only, and there is currently no dedicated heat pump grant for homeowners in Northern Ireland. Our quote for a Ballymoney home is therefore shown without a grant deduction; if support becomes available we will tell you how it applies.
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 Ballymoney property at survey.
Air-to-air heat pumps prices in Ballymoney
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in County Antrim, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Ballymoney can need quite different radiators and pipework.

| Air-to-air heat pump, multi-room 3–4 bedroom home | £3,900–£7,750 |
Installed, inc VAT. Air-to-air systems heat (and can cool) rooms but do not provide hot water.

Air-to-air heat pumps in Ballymoney: questions
How long does installation take in Ballymoney?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Ballymoney home states the expected time.
How soon can you survey a home in Ballymoney?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Antrim. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Coleraine as well as Ballymoney?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Coleraine, which is about 8 miles north-west of Ballymoney, and across County Antrim.
How much sound do the indoor units make?
Indoor units are designed to run quietly, with a fan you will hear most when heating or cooling at full output. Lower fan settings and night modes reduce sound in bedrooms. Siting matters for the outdoor unit too: it needs airflow and a position that passes the MCS noise assessment. Ask to see the sound levels of the proposed units at survey.
Can an air-to-air heat pump heat my water?
No. An air-to-air heat pump heats and cools the air in rooms but does not produce hot water. You need a separate source, such as an existing immersion cylinder, a hot water heat pump or an electric water heater. If you want one system for heating and hot water, an air-to-water heat pump with a cylinder is the alternative.
