What to know about heat pump radiator upgrades in Omagh
The question for an Omagh home is rarely whether a heat pump can work, but what needs to change to make it work well: radiator sizes, pipework, controls and where the unit goes.
In Omagh, bay-windowed front rooms are often the rooms that need a larger radiator when moving to a heat pump. Radiator fitting in Omagh is scheduled with your heat pump installation so the system is drained only once.
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.
- Rooms with little wall space, where a fan-assisted radiator fits better
- Extensions and loft conversions with large areas of glazing
- Rooms that already feel slow to heat, such as bay-windowed living rooms
What's included
- Balancing every radiator so each room heats evenly
- Room-by-room heat loss figures for every heated room
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
Extensions and kitchen-diners around Omagh with large glazed areas get their own radiator calculation.
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 Omagh.
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 Omagh property at survey.

Heat pump radiator upgrades in Omagh: questions
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.
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.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Omagh?
A home survey in Omagh 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.
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.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Not necessarily: many homes keep most of their radiators and replace only a few. The heat loss survey checks each room against its existing radiator at the planned flow temperature. Rooms with large windows, high ceilings or extensions are the usual candidates for an upgrade, while bedrooms often need no change. Your radiator schedule lists every decision.
