What to know about air-to-air heat pumps in Armagh
In Armagh, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
Extensions and garden rooms in Armagh that are hard to connect to the main heating can have their own air-to-air unit. Top-floor rooms in Armagh that overheat in summer gain from the cooling an air-to-air system provides.
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.
- Rooms that get too hot in summer as well as cold in winter
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
What's included
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
Installers in Armagh 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 an Armagh 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 Armagh property at survey.

Winter daylight and heating in Armagh

Air-to-air heat pumps in Armagh: questions
Do you cover Keady as well as Armagh?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Keady, which is about 7 miles south of Armagh, and across County Armagh.
Can you service a heat pump in Armagh that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Armagh, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How soon can you survey a home in Armagh?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Armagh. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
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.
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.
