Before you book: air-to-air heat pumps in Craigavon
Homes around Craigavon range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Flats in Craigavon on storage or panel heaters can often switch to air-to-air without fitting radiators or pipework. Top-floor rooms in Craigavon 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.
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
- Extensions, conservatories and garden rooms
- Rooms that get too hot in summer as well as cold in winter
What's included
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- 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
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
Extensions and garden rooms in Craigavon that are hard to connect to the main heating can have their own air-to-air unit.
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 Craigavon.
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 Craigavon property at survey.

Air-to-air heat pumps in Craigavon: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Craigavon?
A home survey in Craigavon 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.
How long does installation take in Craigavon?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Craigavon home states the expected time.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Craigavon 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 Craigavon home.
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.
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.
