Air-to-air heat pumps in Strabane: what to expect
Every property in Strabane 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.
For terraced homes in Strabane, the outdoor unit can often sit in a rear yard with tidy pipe runs to each room. Top-floor rooms in Strabane 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.
- Rooms that get too hot in summer as well as cold in winter
- Flats and apartments with storage or panel heaters
- Extensions, conservatories and garden rooms
What's included
- Condensate drains and neat external pipe covers
- 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
Flats in Strabane 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 Strabane 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 pumps in Strabane: questions
What size heat pump does a Strabane 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 Strabane home.
How long does installation take in Strabane?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Strabane home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Strabane that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Strabane, 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.
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.
