What to know about heat loss surveys in Coalisland
The question for a Coalisland home is rarely whether a heat pump can work, but what needs to change to make it work well: radiator sizes, pipework, controls and where the unit goes.
Houses in Coalisland built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room. The survey in Coalisland 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.
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
What's included
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
A surveyor visits your Coalisland 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 Coalisland.
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 Coalisland: questions
Do you cover Dungannon as well as Coalisland?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Dungannon, which is about 4 miles south-west of Coalisland, and across County Tyrone.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Coalisland 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 Coalisland home.
How soon can you survey a home in Coalisland?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Tyrone. 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.
