Gas boiler to heat pump in Dungannon: what to expect
Every property in Dungannon is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
Semi-detached and terraced houses in Dungannon often have an airing cupboard that can be reused for a heat pump cylinder. Rear gardens and side returns in Dungannon usually offer a sensible spot for the outdoor unit, checked for airflow and neighbours.
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.
- Boilers that are old, unreliable or due for replacement
- Combi owners who can find space for a hot water cylinder
- System or regular boiler homes with an existing airing cupboard
What's included
- Heat pump cylinder, outdoor unit and weather compensation controls
- Capping of the gas pipe at the boiler position where you are giving up gas
- Removal of the gas boiler, flue and any loft tanks
- Free survey with heat loss calculation and cylinder siting
- System flush and radiator upgrades where the design calls for them
Many gas-heated homes in Dungannon have a combi boiler in the kitchen, so the survey starts by finding the right place for a cylinder.
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 Dungannon 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.

How long is the heating season in Dungannon?
On the shortest day Dungannon gets only about 7 hours 16 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.

Replacing a gas boiler with a heat pump in Dungannon: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Dungannon?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Tyrone. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Coalisland as well as Dungannon?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Coalisland, which is about 4 miles north-east of Dungannon, and across County Tyrone.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Dungannon?
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 Dungannon home gives a room-by-room list.
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.
Will my hot water run out with a heat pump?
Not if the cylinder is sized properly for your household. The survey asks how many people live in the home, how many bathrooms you have and whether you prefer baths or showers, then sizes the cylinder to suit. The heat pump reheats the cylinder on a schedule, often overnight and again during the day, and an immersion heater acts as a backup.
