- Outdoor unit, heat pump cylinder, controls and radiator changes

Replacing an oil or LPG boiler with a heat pump in Warrenpoint: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Warrenpoint?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Down. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does installation take in Warrenpoint?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Warrenpoint home states the expected time.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Warrenpoint?
A home survey in Warrenpoint 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.
Can a heat pump cope with an exposed rural spot?
Yes. Air source heat pumps are designed to keep working well below freezing, and they periodically defrost, giving off a little vapour, which is normal. In exposed locations the installer chooses a sheltered position where possible, raises the unit to clear snow and let defrost water drain, and sizes the system for the local winter design temperature used in the heat loss calculation.
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.
