Before you book: air-to-air heat pumps in Fivemiletown
The question for a Fivemiletown home is rarely whether a heat pump can work, but what needs to change to make it work well: radiator sizes, pipework, controls and where the unit goes.
For terraced homes in Fivemiletown, the outdoor unit can often sit in a rear yard with tidy pipe runs to each room. Top-floor rooms in Fivemiletown 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
- Homes where fitting radiators and pipework would be very disruptive
- Rooms that get too hot in summer as well as cold in winter
What's included
- Refrigerant pipe runs to each indoor unit, made and charged by an F-gas certified engineer
- Outdoor unit and indoor units for each room
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- Free survey covering rooms to heat, unit positions and hot water options
- Electrical supply and controls set up for each room
Flats in Fivemiletown 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 Fivemiletown.
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 Fivemiletown property at survey.
What to budget for air-to-air heat pumps in Fivemiletown
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in County Tyrone, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Fivemiletown can need quite different radiators and pipework.
| System | Installed guide price |
|---|---|
| Air-to-air heat pump, 1–2 rooms | £2,350–£4,850 |
| Air-to-air heat pump, multi-room 3–4 bedroom home | £3,900–£7,750 |
Installed, inc VAT. Air-to-air systems heat (and can cool) rooms but do not provide hot water.
Winter daylight and heating in Fivemiletown
Fivemiletown sees roughly 7 hours 18 minutes of daylight in December and 17 hours 14 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 Fivemiletown: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Fivemiletown?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Tyrone. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Fivemiletown 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 Fivemiletown home.
Do you cover Lisnaskea as well as Fivemiletown?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Lisnaskea, which is about 11 miles south-west of Fivemiletown, and across County Tyrone.
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.
