Heat pump radiators for Strabane homes
Homes around Strabane range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
We plan radiator upgrades in Strabane so floorboards are lifted only where pipework genuinely needs changing. In Strabane, bay-windowed front rooms are often the rooms that need a larger radiator when moving to a heat pump.
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.
- Homeowners who want the lowest practical flow temperature for efficiency
- 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
- A radiator schedule showing which radiators stay, which change and their outputs
- Draining, refilling, cleaning and inhibitor treatment of the heating system
- Making good around brackets and pipe routes, with any decorating agreed in your quote
- Pipework checks and any agreed pipe upgrades
- Supply and fitting of new radiators, valves and brackets
For period homes in Strabane and across County Tyrone, column radiators can keep the character of a room while giving enough heat at low temperatures.
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.
Guide prices for heat pump radiator upgrades in Strabane
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in County Tyrone, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Strabane can need quite different radiators and pipework.
| Work | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Replacement radiator, sized for a heat pump (each, fitted) | £240–£440 |
| Upgrade of about 10 radiators | £1,950–£4,850 |
| Pipework upgrade (e.g. microbore to larger bore) | £1,450–£3,400 |
Installed, inc VAT. The survey lists which radiators need changing.
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.

- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Heat pump radiator upgrades in Strabane: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Strabane?
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 Strabane home gives a room-by-room list.
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 installation take in Strabane?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Strabane home states the expected time.
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.
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.
