What to know about replacing a gas boiler with a heat pump in Coalisland
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Coalisland is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
Rear gardens and side returns in Coalisland usually offer a sensible spot for the outdoor unit, checked for airflow and neighbours. If your Coalisland home still cooks on gas, we talk through whether to keep the supply or switch to an induction hob.
Moving from mains gas to a heat pump means finding cylinder space, deciding what happens to the gas supply and comparing running costs on realistic assumptions.
- Combi owners who can find space for a hot water cylinder
- Households ready to give up gas entirely and drop the standing charge
- Boilers that are old, unreliable or due for replacement
What's included
- Removal of the gas boiler, flue and any loft tanks
- Heat pump cylinder, outdoor unit and weather compensation controls
- System flush and radiator upgrades where the design calls for them
- Free survey with heat loss calculation and cylinder siting
- Capping of the gas pipe at the boiler position where you are giving up gas
Households across County Tyrone moving off gas can have a survey in Coalisland that compares running costs on realistic assumptions.
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 Coalisland 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.

Replacing a gas boiler with a heat pump in Coalisland: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Coalisland?
A home survey in Coalisland usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
How long does installation take in Coalisland?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Coalisland home states the expected time.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Coalisland 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 Coalisland home.
Do I need to replace the cylinder I already have?
Usually, yes. Older cylinders have a small internal coil designed for water from a boiler at around 60–70°C, and they cannot take in heat quickly enough at the lower temperatures a heat pump runs at. A heat pump cylinder has a larger coil. On its own, a cylinder supplied and fitted has a guide price of £1,200–£2,200, installed and including VAT, though it is normally part of the full system price.
Can a heat pump replace a combi boiler?
Yes, but you need room for a hot water cylinder, because heat pumps store hot water rather than heating it on demand. Most homes find a space in a cupboard, utility room, garage or under the stairs, and compact or combined indoor units help where space is tight. The survey measures the options first, so you know where everything will go before you accept the quote.
