Before you book: heat loss surveys in Keady
A heat pump suits most Keady homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
Design outdoor temperatures for Keady and the wider County Armagh come from local cold-weather data, not a national average. For Keady homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction.
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.
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
What's included
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
A surveyor visits your Keady home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized.
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 Keady 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.
Guide prices for heat loss surveys in Keady
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in County Armagh, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Keady can need quite different radiators and pipework.
| Survey | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Home survey and heat loss calculation with an installation quote | Free |
| Stand-alone heat loss survey and report | £150–£390 |
Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.
Short winter days in Keady and what they mean
On the shortest day Keady gets only about 7 hours 19 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.

- Send your postcode and a few details, or use the guide price tool.
- A surveyor visits your Keady home, measures every room and checks where the outdoor unit can go.

- Installers fit the unit, cylinder and any radiator changes, typically over 2–4 days on site.
- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Heat loss surveys in Keady: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Keady 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 Keady home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Keady?
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 Keady home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Keady?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Armagh. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Will the survey check noise from the outdoor unit?
Yes. The surveyor identifies possible positions for the outdoor unit and carries out the MCS noise assessment, which estimates the sound level at the nearest neighbouring window from the unit's sound power level, distance and any barriers. In England, meeting the MCS planning standards is one of the conditions for permitted development. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules, which we check.
Is the heat loss survey free?
Yes, for installation enquiries the home survey and heat loss calculation are free, and the results form the basis of your written quote. If you only want the calculation and report, for example for building plans or comparing quotes, a stand-alone heat loss survey has a guide price of £150–£400, including VAT. We confirm which applies when you book.
