Storage and electric heater replacement in Limavady

Old storage heaters in Limavady homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. In Northern Ireland, homes on oil or electric heating can look at air-to-air systems for efficient warmth.

For Limavady landlords, swapping storage heaters for a heat pump is one of the more effective EPC improvements. We cover Limavady as part of County Londonderry, roughly 15 miles from Derry/Londonderry. Coverage includes BT49.

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.

Northern Ireland has its own planning rules for outdoor units. We confirm the position for your home on survey, and with the council where needed.

Yes, our online guide price tool gives a range in about a minute. A fixed price needs a survey, which is free for new installations.

Who carries out the work in Limavady?

Can landlords use this to improve an EPC?

Replacing direct electric heating with a heat pump often improves an EPC rating. The exact change depends on the property, so ask a domestic energy assessor.
