Storage and electric heater replacement in Magherafelt

Flats and bungalows in Magherafelt that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Our County Londonderry coverage takes in Magherafelt, about 33 miles from Derry/Londonderry. Postcode districts we cover here include BT45.

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.
