Oil and LPG boiler replacement for Tandragee homes
In Tandragee, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
Cottages and farmhouses in and around Tandragee often have solid walls, so the survey looks closely at construction and draughts. Owners across County Armagh can have oil tank removal arranged alongside a heat pump installation in Tandragee.
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.
- Rural and village homes off the mains gas grid
- Older oil boilers nearing the end of their life
- Owners tired of fuel deliveries and tank maintenance
What's included
- Removal of the oil or LPG boiler and flue
- Free survey with a detailed heat loss calculation for older construction
- Oil tank draining and removal or making safe, as set out in your quote
- Help arranging LPG tank collection with your supplier
- Network operator notification and electrical connection
Bungalows and detached houses near Tandragee running on LPG can move to a heat pump, with the tank collected by the supplier.
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 Tandragee 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 Tandragee: questions
Do you cover Portadown as well as Tandragee?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Portadown, which is about 5 miles north of Tandragee, and across County Armagh.
Can you service a heat pump in Tandragee that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Tandragee, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How soon can you survey a home in Tandragee?
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.
Will I need bigger radiators in an older cottage or farmhouse?
Often in some rooms, because thick solid walls and older windows lose more heat, and heat pumps work at lower water temperatures than oil boilers. The survey checks each room. Rooms with high ceilings or large windows are common candidates for a larger radiator. Where swapping radiators is impractical, a high-temperature unit can be considered, with lower efficiency as the trade-off.
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.
