Heat loss survey for Ballymoney homes
Homes around Ballymoney range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
The survey in Ballymoney includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours. Houses in Ballymoney built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room.
Every heat pump we quote starts with a room-by-room heat loss survey, free with installation enquiries and also available as a stand-alone report.
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
What's included
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
Homeowners in Ballymoney thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size.
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 Ballymoney.
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.

Winter daylight and heating in Ballymoney

Heat loss surveys in Ballymoney: questions
Do you cover Coleraine as well as Ballymoney?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Coleraine, which is about 8 miles north-west of Ballymoney, and across County Antrim.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Ballymoney?
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 Ballymoney home gives a room-by-room list.
Can you service a heat pump in Ballymoney that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Ballymoney, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Why can't you size the heat pump from my boiler?
Boilers are often much larger than a home's real heat loss, because they are sized for fast hot water and quick warm-ups. Matching a heat pump to the boiler's output usually means an oversized unit that costs more and switches on and off too often. A room-by-room calculation finds the actual heat demand, which is what the heat pump needs to meet.
Can I use the heat loss report to get other quotes?
Yes. A stand-alone heat loss report is yours to use, including sharing it with other installers so their quotes are based on the same figures. Comparing quotes like for like makes it easier to see differences in equipment, radiator upgrades and workmanship terms. The report states the assumptions used wherever construction could not be confirmed.
