Air-to-air heat pumps in Maghera: what to expect
Every property in Maghera is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
Extensions and garden rooms in Maghera that are hard to connect to the main heating can have their own air-to-air unit. For terraced homes in Maghera, the outdoor unit can often sit in a rear yard with tidy pipe runs to each room.
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
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
What's included
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- 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
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
A survey in Maghera covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across County Londonderry.
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 Maghera home is therefore shown without a grant deduction; if support becomes available we will tell you how it applies.
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–£7,750 |

Air-to-air heat pumps in Maghera: questions
Do you cover Magherafelt as well as Maghera?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Magherafelt, which is about 7 miles south-east of Maghera, and across County Londonderry.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Maghera?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Maghera home gives a room-by-room list.
Can you service a heat pump in Maghera that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Maghera, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Is there a grant for air-to-air heat pumps?
In England and Wales, yes: the Boiler Upgrade Scheme includes a grant of £2,500 for air-to-air heat pumps in homes, from 28 April 2026. The MCS-certified installer applies to Ofgem and deducts it from your quote, subject to the scheme's conditions. The scheme does not cover Scotland or Northern Ireland; in Scotland, Home Energy Scotland has its own rules.
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.
