Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Omagh
Homes around Omagh range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Terraced streets in Omagh often mean a compact unit position at the rear, so siting and sound levels are checked carefully. In Omagh, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
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.
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Owners who want one contract covering design, fitting and paperwork
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
What's included
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Removal of the old boiler or heaters
- System design, unit sizing and a written quote
Many homes in Omagh have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland does not have a dedicated heat pump grant for homeowners at present, and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply here. Heat pumps have sometimes been funded through the Northern Ireland Sustainable Energy Programme, so it is worth checking what is open when you enquire about a home in Omagh.
Installing heat pumps has been zero-rated for VAT in Northern Ireland since 1 May 2023, in line with the rest of the UK, until 31 March 2027. Northern Ireland has its own permitted development rules and building regulations, and we confirm what applies to your Omagh property at survey.

Short winter days in Omagh and what they mean
On the shortest day Omagh gets only about 7 hours 15 minutes of daylight and the noon sun sits around 12° above the horizon. Northern winters tend to be longer, so a well-designed, efficient system matters more here because it runs for more of the year.

Air source heat pump installation in Omagh: questions
Do you cover Fivemiletown as well as Omagh?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Fivemiletown, which is about 15 miles south of Omagh, and across County Tyrone.
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Omagh 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 Omagh home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Omagh?
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 Omagh home gives a room-by-room list.
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.
How long does an air source heat pump installation take?
A typical home installation takes 2–4 days on site. It takes longer if several radiators are being replaced, pipework is being upgraded or the cylinder is going in a new location. Your quote sets out the expected programme, including when you will be without heating and hot water. Timings are typical rather than fixed, because older homes sometimes reveal surprises once floorboards are lifted.
