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 Ballymoney.
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 Ballymoney property at survey.

Heat pumps in Ballymoney: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Ballymoney 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 Ballymoney home.
What size heat pump does a Ballymoney 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 Ballymoney home.
How long does installation take in Ballymoney?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Ballymoney home states the expected time.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Ballymoney?
A home survey in Ballymoney 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.
