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 Portadown 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 Portadown property at survey.

Designing for Portadown's winters
On the shortest day Portadown gets only about 7 hours 17 minutes of daylight and the noon sun sits around 12° above the horizon. Northern winters tend to be longer, so a well-designed, efficient system matters more here because it runs for more of the year.

Heat pump grants in Portadown: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Portadown that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Portadown, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Portadown?
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 Portadown home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Portadown?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Armagh. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How much is the heat pump grant?
It depends on where you live. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £7,500 towards an air-to-water heat pump, or £9,000 when replacing oil or LPG heating for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. In Scotland, Home Energy Scotland offers up to £7,500, plus a rural uplift and an optional loan. Northern Ireland has no dedicated grant at present.
Is VAT charged on heat pump installations?
Across the UK, including Northern Ireland, the installation of heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, which means no VAT is added to a qualifying installation. Our guide prices are shown including VAT on that basis. Your written quote shows how VAT applies to each item of work, so there are no surprises on the final invoice.
