Northern Ireland Heat Pump Installers 2026

Northern Ireland has no equivalent of the £7,500 BUS grant in England/Wales or Home Energy Scotland Cashback. The NI Sustainable Energy Programme (administered through energy suppliers) offers smaller, means-tested support (£700–£1,500 typical). Most Belfast homeowners self-finance heat pump installations. The MCS-certified installer market in NI is smaller (~25–35 firms covering Greater Belfast).
