Before you book: heat pump radiator upgrades in Dungiven
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Dungiven is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
Extensions and kitchen-diners around Dungiven with large glazed areas get their own radiator calculation. Many older houses in Dungiven still have their original single-panel radiators, so the survey checks each one against the room it heats.
We size each radiator to your room-by-room heat loss so a heat pump can heat your home at a low, efficient flow temperature.
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
- Rooms that already feel slow to heat, such as bay-windowed living rooms
- Homes switching from a gas, oil or LPG boiler to a heat pump
What's included
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
We plan radiator upgrades in Dungiven so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing.
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 Dungiven.
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 pump radiators costs around Dungiven
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in County Londonderry, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Dungiven can need quite different radiators and pipework.

| Upgrade of about 10 radiators | £1,950–£4,850 |

Installed, inc VAT. The survey lists which radiators need changing.

How installation works in Dungiven

- You receive a heat loss design and a fixed written quote, with any grant shown where it applies.
- Installers fit the unit, cylinder and any radiator changes, typically over 2–4 days on site.
- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Heat pump radiator upgrades in Dungiven: questions
Do you cover Limavady as well as Dungiven?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Limavady, which is about 9 miles north of Dungiven, and across County Londonderry.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Dungiven?
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 Dungiven home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Dungiven?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Londonderry. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Will new radiators be much bigger than my old ones?
Sometimes, but not always. Swapping a single-panel radiator for a double or triple-panel model of the same height and width can raise output substantially, adding only depth from the wall. Where that is not enough, a longer or taller radiator, or a second radiator in the room, may be needed. We agree sizes and positions with you before anything is ordered.
Are fan-assisted radiators noisy?
Fan-assisted radiators make a low, steady fan sound when running at higher output, and many have quieter settings for bedrooms at night. They are useful where wall space is short, such as a kitchen with few clear walls. They need a small electrical supply, which we plan into the installation if you choose them.
