Heat pumps in Carlow
Census 2022 counted 22,174 households in Carlow. 9% heat with electricity, the group heat pumps are counted in, against 12% nationally: the 14th highest of the 26 counties. 30% of Carlow homes have a renewable energy source, such as a heat pump or solar panels. Oil still heats 55% of Carlow homes, the fuel a heat pump most often replaces.
8% of Carlow homes were built since 2011, and 222 new homes were finished in 2025, with 205 more from January to September 2026. New homes have to meet Part L's renewable energy rules, which is why so many have a heat pump and mechanical ventilation. Their first warranties end within a few years, and that's when yearly servicing pays for itself.
The Carlow climate
Carlow gets 1,969 heating degree days a year, the 14th highest of the 26 counties' main towns. That's milder than much of the midlands and the north-west, so heat pumps in Carlow work less hard, but damp air still means regular defrosts in winter.
Carlow is inland, so salt on the coil isn't the problem. Leaves, frost and a blocked condensate tray are.
