Heat loss survey for Strabane homes
Every property in Strabane is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
Homeowners in Strabane thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size. The survey in Strabane 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.
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
What's included
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
A surveyor visits your Strabane 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 Strabane.
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.

Designing for Strabane's winters
On the shortest day Strabane gets only about 7 hours 12 minutes of daylight and the noon sun sits around 12° above the horizon. Northern winters tend to be longer, so a well-designed, efficient system matters more here because it runs for more of the year.

Heat loss surveys in Strabane: questions
Do you cover Derry/Londonderry as well as Strabane?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Derry/Londonderry, which is about 14 miles north-east of Strabane, and across County Tyrone.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Strabane 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 Strabane home.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Strabane?
A home survey in Strabane 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.
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.
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.
