Air-to-air heat pumps for Irvinestown homes
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Irvinestown is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
For terraced homes in Irvinestown, the outdoor unit can often sit in a rear yard with tidy pipe runs to each room. Top-floor rooms in Irvinestown 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
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
What's included
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- 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
Flats in Irvinestown on storage or panel heaters can often switch to air-to-air without fitting radiators or pipework.
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 Irvinestown.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump in Northern Ireland until 31 March 2027, the same as in Great Britain. Planning and building control here follow Northern Ireland's own rules, so the survey checks the unit position against them.

| Air-to-air heat pump, multi-room 3–4 bedroom home | £3,900–£7,850 |
Installed, inc VAT. Air-to-air systems heat (and can cool) rooms but do not provide hot water.
Designing for Irvinestown's winters
Irvinestown sees roughly 7 hours 16 minutes of daylight in December and 17 hours 15 minutes in June. With a longer heating season than the south, the gains from low flow temperatures and good controls add up over the year.

Air-to-air heat pumps in Irvinestown: questions
What size heat pump does an Irvinestown 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 Irvinestown home.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Irvinestown?
A home survey in Irvinestown 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.
Can you service a heat pump in Irvinestown that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Irvinestown, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
