Oil and LPG boiler replacement for Coalisland homes
A heat pump suits most Coalisland homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
Bungalows and detached houses near Coalisland running on LPG can move to a heat pump, with the tank collected by the supplier. Rural properties near Coalisland usually have garden space for the outdoor unit, sited away from windows and sheltered where possible.
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.
- Detached houses and bungalows with garden space for the unit
- Rural and village homes off the mains gas grid
- Owners tired of fuel deliveries and tank maintenance
What's included
- Oil tank draining and removal or making safe, as set out in your quote
- Outdoor unit, heat pump cylinder, controls and radiator changes
- Free survey with a detailed heat loss calculation for older construction
- Network operator notification and electrical connection
- Removal of the oil or LPG boiler and flue
Cottages and farmhouses in and around Coalisland often have solid walls, so the survey looks closely at construction and draughts.
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 Coalisland.
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 Coalisland: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Coalisland that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Coalisland, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Dungannon as well as Coalisland?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Dungannon, which is about 4 miles south-west of Coalisland, and across County Tyrone.
What size heat pump does a Coalisland 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 Coalisland home.
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.
