What to know about heat loss surveys in Tandragee
Every property in Tandragee 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.
For Tandragee homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction. The survey in Tandragee includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours.
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.
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
What's included
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
A surveyor visits your Tandragee home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized.
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 Tandragee.
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.

Heat loss surveys in Tandragee: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Tandragee?
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.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Tandragee?
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 Tandragee home gives a room-by-room list.
What size heat pump does a Tandragee home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Tandragee home.
How long does a heat loss survey take?
A typical survey takes 1–3 hours on site, depending on the size and complexity of the home. Larger or older houses with mixed construction, extensions or many rooms take longer. The calculations and design are completed afterwards, and the results are included in your quote or stand-alone report.
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.
