Heat loss survey for Omagh homes
In Omagh, 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 Omagh homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction. Homeowners in Omagh thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size.
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
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
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
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
The survey in Omagh 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 an Omagh 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.
What to budget for heat loss surveys in Omagh
These are guide prices for County Tyrone, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.
| Survey | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Home survey and heat loss calculation with an installation quote | Free |
| Stand-alone heat loss survey and report | £150–£390 |
Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.
Designing for Omagh's winters
Omagh sees roughly 7 hours 15 minutes of daylight in December and 17 hours 17 minutes in June. With a longer heating season than the south, the gains from low flow temperatures and good controls add up over the year.

Heat loss surveys in Omagh: questions
Do you cover Fivemiletown as well as Omagh?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Fivemiletown, which is about 15 miles south of Omagh, and across County Tyrone.
What size heat pump does an Omagh 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 Omagh home.
How long does installation take in Omagh?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for an Omagh home states the expected time.
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.
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.
