Storage and electric heater replacement in Carrickfergus
In Northern Ireland, homes on oil or electric heating can look at air-to-air systems for efficient warmth. Flats and bungalows in Carrickfergus that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters.
Old storage heaters in Carrickfergus homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. Carrickfergus sits around 10 miles from Belfast, inside our County Antrim area. That includes the BT38 postcode district.

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%.
