What to know about air source heat pump installation in Tandragee
A heat pump suits most Tandragee homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
Homeowners across County Armagh can arrange a survey in Tandragee for a room-by-room design and a written quote before committing to anything. For older properties in Tandragee, the heat loss calculation looks closely at solid walls, single glazing and draughts before any unit is sized.
We survey your home, design a heat pump system around its real heat loss, and manage the installation from the first visit to the MCS certificate.
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
What's included
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Outdoor unit, hot water cylinder and weather compensation controls
In Tandragee, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Northern Ireland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales only, and there is currently no dedicated heat pump grant for homeowners in Northern Ireland. Our quote for a Tandragee home is therefore shown without a grant deduction; if support becomes available we will tell you how it applies.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump in Northern Ireland until 31 March 2027, the same as in Great Britain. Planning and building control here follow Northern Ireland's own rules, so the survey checks the unit position against them.

Air source heat pump installation in Tandragee: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Tandragee house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Tandragee home.
What size heat pump does a Tandragee home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Tandragee home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Tandragee?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Tandragee home gives a room-by-room list.
Will an air source heat pump be noisy?
Heat pumps are designed to run quietly, but where the unit sits makes a real difference. The survey looks for a position away from bedroom windows and neighbours, with clear airflow, and the installation must pass the MCS noise assessment. The fan is most noticeable on very cold days when the unit works hardest, and a little vapour during the periodic defrost is normal.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Not always; many homes keep most of their radiators and change only a few. Because a heat pump runs at a lower water temperature than a boiler, each radiator gives out less heat, so the survey checks every room against its heat loss. Rooms where the existing radiator falls short get a larger one, with a guide price of £250–£450 each, installed and including VAT.
