A discretized solution $(X_h^n)_{n\in\{0,1,\ldots,N\}}$ is defined via the finite element method in space (parameter $h > 0$) and a $\theta $-method in time (parameter $\Delta t = T/N$). For $\varphi \in C^2_b(H;{\mathbb R})$ we show an integral representation for the error $|{\mathbb E}\varphi(X^N_h)-{\mathbb E}\varphi(X_T)|$ and prove that $$ \left|{\mathbb E}\varphi\left(X^N_h\right)-{\mathbb E}\varphi(X_T)\right|=O\left(h^{2\gamma}+\left(\Delta t\right)^{\gamma}\right) $$where $\gamma < 1 - \alpha + \beta $. This is the same order of convergence as in the case of a Gaussian space time noise, which has been obtained in a paper by Debussche and Printems (Math Comput 78:845-863, 2009). Our result also holds for a combination of impulsive and Gaussian space time noise. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{60H15 65M60 60H35 60G51 60G52 65C30} \itemut{weak order; stochastic heat equation; impulsive cylindrical process; infinite dimensional L\'evy process; finite element; Euler scheme} \itemli{doi:10.1007/s11118-012-9276-y} \end
