Storage and electric heater replacement in Downpatrick
In Northern Ireland, cooling is mostly needed in conservatories and glazed rooms, while efficient heating benefits the whole home. Flats and bungalows in Downpatrick that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters.
For Downpatrick landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. We cover Downpatrick as part of County Down, roughly 23 miles from Bangor, County Down. We cover BT30 and the streets around them.
