Before you book: heat loss surveys in Dungannon
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Dungannon is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
Homeowners in Dungannon thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size. Design outdoor temperatures for Dungannon and the wider County Tyrone 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.
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
What's included
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
The survey in Dungannon 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
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 Dungannon.
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 Dungannon: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Dungannon?
A home survey in Dungannon 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.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Dungannon?
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 Dungannon home gives a room-by-room list.
What size heat pump does a Dungannon 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 Dungannon home.
Why can't you size the heat pump from my boiler?
Boilers are often much larger than a home's real heat loss, because they are sized for fast hot water and quick warm-ups. Matching a heat pump to the boiler's output usually means an oversized unit that costs more and switches on and off too often. A room-by-room calculation finds the actual heat demand, which is what the heat pump needs to meet.
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.
