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 Tandragee home is therefore shown without a grant deduction; if support becomes available we will tell you how it applies.
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.

Heat pump grants in Tandragee: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Tandragee that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Tandragee, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Tandragee?
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 Tandragee home gives a room-by-room list.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Tandragee 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 Tandragee home.
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.
