Air conditioning for period and listed homes in Lurgan
If your home in Lurgan is Victorian, Edwardian or older, a console or concealed system often works better than a high wall unit. In Northern Ireland, homes on oil or electric heating can look at air-to-air systems for efficient warmth.
For period homes in Lurgan, we look at consoles in place of radiators and ducted units from the loft before anything else. We cover Lurgan as part of County Armagh, roughly 3 miles from Craigavon. Coverage includes BT66.
Prices in Lurgan
Guide prices around Lurgan run from £1,495 to £7,295 per home, one room upwards including VAT. Labour rates in Northern Ireland keep this slightly under the national middle. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. For reference, the Concealed option in Lurgan (ducted unit from a loft or void serving one or two rooms) usually comes to about £3,145–£4,995.

Low-level console in place of a radiator, rear outdoor unit.

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%.
Listed building consent
Period homes in Lurgan that are not listed can usually follow the normal rules for outdoor units, but listed buildings always need consent, and conservation areas restrict units on elevations facing a road. Northern Ireland has its own planning rules for outdoor units, and conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care. We confirm the position for your property before installation.
The survey
A survey in Lurgan usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. On a survey in Lurgan the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
