Oil and LPG boiler replacement in Craigavon: what to expect
Every property in Craigavon 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.
Bungalows and detached houses near Craigavon running on LPG can move to a heat pump, with the tank collected by the supplier. If your home near Craigavon is off the mains gas grid, a heat pump removes the need for oil or LPG deliveries.
Off-gas homes have a lot to plan when switching to a heat pump: the fuel tank, older walls, rural power supplies and higher heat loss.
- Owners tired of fuel deliveries and tank maintenance
- Detached houses and bungalows with garden space for the unit
- Older oil boilers nearing the end of their life
What's included
- Oil tank draining and removal or making safe, as set out in your quote
- Removal of the oil or LPG boiler and flue
- Free survey with a detailed heat loss calculation for older construction
- Help arranging LPG tank collection with your supplier
- Network operator notification and electrical connection
Owners across County Armagh can have oil tank removal arranged alongside a heat pump installation in Craigavon.
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 a Craigavon 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.

Replacing an oil or LPG boiler with a heat pump in Craigavon: questions
What size heat pump does a Craigavon 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 Craigavon home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Craigavon?
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 Craigavon home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Craigavon?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Armagh. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
What happens with a leased LPG tank?
Leased LPG tanks belong to the supplier, so the supplier arranges collection. Check your contract for notice periods and any charges before you fix a date. We time the switchover so you are not left without heating, and once the heat pump is commissioned the supplier can empty and remove the tank. Bottled LPG cylinders are simply returned.
Do I have to remove my oil tank?
Not always, but it should be emptied and made safe. A tank in good condition can be drained, cleaned and left in place, though most owners prefer to have it taken away to free up space. Old or damaged tanks are usually removed. Your quote says which option is included, and any remaining oil and sludge is disposed of properly.
