Heat loss survey for Dungiven homes
In Dungiven, 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.
For Dungiven homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction. Design outdoor temperatures for Dungiven and the wider County Londonderry come from local cold-weather data, not a national average.
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
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
What's included
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
The survey in Dungiven includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours.
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 Dungiven 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.

Heat loss surveys in Dungiven: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Dungiven?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Londonderry. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Dungiven?
A home survey in Dungiven usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Dungiven 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 Dungiven home.
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.
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.
