Heat loss survey in Fivemiletown: what to expect
Homes around Fivemiletown range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Houses in Fivemiletown built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room. Design outdoor temperatures for Fivemiletown 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.
- 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
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
What's included
- 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
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
A surveyor visits your Fivemiletown 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 Fivemiletown.
Installing heat pumps has been zero-rated for VAT in Northern Ireland since 1 May 2023, in line with the rest of the UK, until 31 March 2027. Northern Ireland has its own permitted development rules and building regulations, and we confirm what applies to your Fivemiletown property at survey.

Heat loss surveys in Fivemiletown: questions
How long does installation take in Fivemiletown?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Fivemiletown home states the expected time.
What size heat pump does a Fivemiletown 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 Fivemiletown home.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Fivemiletown 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 Fivemiletown 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.
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.
