Before you book: replacing an oil or LPG boiler with a heat pump in Fivemiletown
A heat pump suits most Fivemiletown homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
If your home near Fivemiletown is off the mains gas grid, a heat pump removes the need for oil or LPG deliveries. Rural properties near Fivemiletown 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
- Owners tired of fuel deliveries and tank maintenance
- Older oil boilers nearing the end of their life
What's included
- Network operator notification and electrical connection
- Help arranging LPG tank collection with your supplier
- Outdoor unit, heat pump cylinder, controls and radiator changes
- Oil tank draining and removal or making safe, as set out in your quote
- Removal of the oil or LPG boiler and flue
For homes outside Fivemiletown reached by a long drive or narrow lane, delivery of the unit and cylinder is planned in advance.
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 Fivemiletown 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 Fivemiletown property at survey.

Replacing an oil or LPG boiler with a heat pump in Fivemiletown: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Fivemiletown?
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 Fivemiletown home gives a room-by-room list.
How long does installation take in Fivemiletown?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Fivemiletown home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Fivemiletown that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Fivemiletown, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
