Air-to-air heat pumps for Cookstown homes
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Cookstown is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
Extensions and garden rooms in Cookstown that are hard to connect to the main heating can have their own air-to-air unit. A survey in Cookstown covers indoor unit positions, pipe routes and hot water for homes across County Tyrone.
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.
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
- Households that already have, or will add, a separate source of hot water
- Extensions, conservatories and garden rooms
What's included
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
Flats in Cookstown 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
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 Cookstown 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 Cookstown property at survey.

Air-to-air heat pumps in Cookstown: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Cookstown?
A home survey in Cookstown 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 Cookstown?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Cookstown home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Cookstown that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Cookstown, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
