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 Antrim.
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.

Designing for Antrim's winters
Antrim sees roughly 7 hours 13 minutes of daylight in December and 17 hours 18 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.
Heat pumps in Antrim: questions
What size heat pump does an Antrim 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 Antrim home.
How long does installation take in Antrim?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Antrim home states the expected time.
How soon can you survey a home in Antrim?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Antrim. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Antrim 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 Antrim home.
