Heat loss survey in Irvinestown: what to expect
In Irvinestown, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
A surveyor visits your Irvinestown home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized. Houses in Irvinestown 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
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
What's included
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
For Irvinestown homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction.
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 an Irvinestown 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.

Short winter days in Irvinestown and what they mean

Heat loss surveys in Irvinestown: questions
How long does installation take in Irvinestown?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Irvinestown home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Irvinestown that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Irvinestown, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How soon can you survey a home in Irvinestown?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Fermanagh. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
What is a design flow temperature?
The design flow temperature is the temperature of the water sent to your radiators or underfloor heating on the coldest design day. Heat pumps are more efficient at lower flow temperatures, typically around 35–50°C. Choosing it is a balance: a lower figure improves efficiency but can mean larger radiators in some rooms, so the design shows both.
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.
