Air-to-air heat pumps in Keady: what to expect
Homes around Keady range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
For terraced homes in Keady, the outdoor unit can often sit in a rear yard with tidy pipe runs to each room. Installers in Keady 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.
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
- Households that already have, or will add, a separate source of hot water
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
What's included
- 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
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
A survey in Keady covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across County Armagh.
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 Keady 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 Keady property at survey.

Designing for Keady's winters
On the shortest day Keady gets only about 7 hours 19 minutes of daylight and the noon sun sits around 12° above the horizon. Northern winters tend to be longer, so a well-designed, efficient system matters more here because it runs for more of the year.

Air-to-air heat pumps in Keady: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Keady?
A home survey in Keady 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.
What size heat pump does a Keady home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Keady home.
Can you service a heat pump in Keady that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Keady, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Are air-to-air heat pumps suitable for flats?
Often, yes. They need no radiators, pipework or cylinder, so they suit flats heated by storage or panel heaters. You need a position for the outdoor unit, such as a balcony, wall bracket or ground-floor yard, and leaseholders normally need the freeholder's or management company's consent. Planning rules for flats differ by nation, so we check what applies at survey.
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.
