Oil and LPG boiler replacement in Dungannon: what to expect
A heat pump suits most Dungannon homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
Cottages and farmhouses in and around Dungannon often have solid walls, so the survey looks closely at construction and draughts. For homes outside Dungannon reached by a long drive or narrow lane, delivery of the unit and cylinder is planned in advance.
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
- Detached houses and bungalows with garden space for the unit
- Older oil boilers nearing the end of their life
What's included
- Outdoor unit, heat pump cylinder, controls and radiator changes
- Network operator notification and electrical connection
- 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
Owners across County Tyrone can have oil tank removal arranged alongside a heat pump installation in Dungannon.
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 Dungannon home is therefore shown without a grant deduction; if support becomes available we will tell you how it applies.
Installing heat pumps has been zero-rated for VAT in Northern Ireland since 1 May 2023, in line with the rest of the UK, until 31 March 2027. Northern Ireland has its own permitted development rules and building regulations, and we confirm what applies to your Dungannon property at survey.

Replacing an oil or LPG boiler with a heat pump in Dungannon: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Dungannon house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Dungannon home.
How soon can you survey a home in Dungannon?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Tyrone. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Coalisland as well as Dungannon?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Coalisland, which is about 4 miles north-east of Dungannon, and across County Tyrone.
How much is the grant for replacing an oil boiler with a heat pump?
In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant is £9,000 when an air-to-water heat pump replaces oil or LPG heating, for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Otherwise the standard £7,500 applies. The installer claims it and deducts it from your quote. Scotland's Home Energy Scotland funding works differently and includes extra for eligible rural homes; Northern Ireland has no dedicated homeowner scheme at present.
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.
