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 Newtownabbey 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 Newtownabbey property at survey.

Winter daylight and heating in Newtownabbey

Heat pumps in Newtownabbey: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Newtownabbey?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Newtownabbey home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Belfast as well as Newtownabbey?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Belfast, which is about 4 miles south of Newtownabbey, and across County Antrim.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Newtownabbey 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 Newtownabbey home.
What size heat pump does a Newtownabbey 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 Newtownabbey home.
