Air-to-air heat pumps across County Down
We size every heat pump in Bangor for a cold winter day, then check the cooling side is right for summer. Homes in Bangor on electric, oil or LPG heating are the ones most likely to benefit from an air-to-air heat pump. Damp Northern Ireland winters make a heat pump's dehumidifying mode useful well beyond the summer.
Prices in County Down
Budget around £2,695–£10,545 for 2–5 rooms including VAT for air-to-air heat pumps in and around County Down. Labour rates in Northern Ireland keep this slightly under the national middle. What moves a quote in County Down up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. As an example, the Small home option (three or four rooms heated and cooled) would typically be £4,095–£6,845 here.
Two rooms
Living room and main bedroom on one outdoor unit.
Small home
Three or four rooms heated and cooled.
Whole home
Five or more rooms, sized to replace the existing heating.
There is no Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant in Northern Ireland, so prices here are shown without one.
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
In Northern Ireland we confirm planning requirements for the outdoor unit on survey, especially for listed buildings and conservation areas.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. We book surveys in County Down at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
