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 Ballynahinch 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 Ballynahinch property at survey.

Winter daylight and heating in Ballynahinch

Heat pumps in Ballynahinch: questions
Do you cover Downpatrick as well as Ballynahinch?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Downpatrick, which is about 8 miles south-east of Ballynahinch, and across County Down.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Ballynahinch?
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 Ballynahinch home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Ballynahinch?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Down. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
What size heat pump does a Ballynahinch 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 Ballynahinch home.
