Air-to-air heat pumps in Ballymena
Damp Northern Ireland winters make a heat pump's dehumidifying mode useful well beyond the summer. We size every heat pump in Ballymena for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer.
Homes in Ballymena on electric, oil or LPG heating are the ones most likely to benefit from an air-to-air heat pump. Ballymena lies roughly 23 miles from Belfast, and we cover it as part of County Antrim. We cover BT42, BT43 and BT44 and the streets around them.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
Planning rules for outdoor units in Northern Ireland differ from Great Britain's, so we check your property with you and the council where needed.
