Heat pumps in Kilkenny
Census 2022 counted 36,685 households in Kilkenny. 8% heat with electricity, the group heat pumps are counted in, against 12% nationally: the 19th highest of the 26 counties. 35% of Kilkenny homes have a renewable energy source, such as a heat pump or solar panels. Oil still heats 56% of Kilkenny homes, the fuel a heat pump most often replaces.
7% of Kilkenny homes were built since 2011, and 521 new homes were finished in 2025, with 499 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 Kilkenny climate
Kilkenny gets 1,961 heating degree days a year, the 15th highest of the 26 counties' main towns. That's milder than much of the midlands and the north-west, so heat pumps in Kilkenny work less hard, but damp air still means regular defrosts in winter.
Kilkenny is inland, so salt on the coil isn't the problem. Leaves, frost and a blocked condensate tray are.
