Air-to-air heat pumps for Newtownabbey homes
A heat pump suits most Newtownabbey homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
A survey in Newtownabbey covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across County Antrim. Flats in Newtownabbey on storage or panel heaters can often switch to air-to-air without fitting radiators or pipework.
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
- Rooms that get too hot in summer as well as cold in winter
- Households that already have, or will add, a separate source of hot water
What's included
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
Installers in Newtownabbey plan condensate drains and pipe covers so indoor and outdoor runs stay neat.
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 Newtownabbey 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 Newtownabbey property at survey.

Air-to-air heat pumps in Newtownabbey: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Newtownabbey that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Newtownabbey, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Belfast as well as Newtownabbey?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Belfast, which is about 4 miles south of Newtownabbey, and across County Antrim.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Newtownabbey 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 Newtownabbey home.
Can air-to-air heat pumps cool as well as heat?
Yes. Most air-to-air systems can reverse their cycle to cool and dehumidify rooms in summer, which makes them useful for loft rooms, south-facing extensions and home offices that overheat. Cooling uses electricity, so running costs rise if it is used heavily. You control heating and cooling for each room separately.
How do I look after an air-to-air system?
Clean the indoor unit filters regularly, typically every few weeks during heavy use and following the manufacturer's guidance, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and snow. Annual servicing is recommended and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty. Any work on the refrigerant circuit must be done by an F-gas certified engineer.
