What to know about heat loss surveys in Wisbech
Homes around Wisbech range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
The survey in Wisbech includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours. A surveyor visits your Wisbech home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized.
Every heat pump we quote starts with a room-by-room heat loss survey, free with installation enquiries and also available as a stand-alone report.
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
What's included
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
Design outdoor temperatures for Wisbech and the wider Cambridgeshire come from local cold-weather data, not a national average.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Wisbech quote.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK until 31 March 2027. In England most houses can have an air source heat pump under permitted development, provided the unit meets the MCS noise and siting standards; the old 1 m boundary limit was removed on 29 May 2025. We flag listed buildings, flats and sensitive conservation-area positions at survey.
Heat loss survey prices in Wisbech
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Cambridgeshire, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Wisbech can need quite different radiators and pipework.
| Survey | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Home survey and heat loss calculation with an installation quote | Free |
| Stand-alone heat loss survey and report | £150–£410 |
Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.
Winter daylight and heating in Wisbech
Wisbech has about 7 hours 37 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 52 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.

Heat loss surveys in Wisbech: questions
How long does installation take in Wisbech?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Wisbech home states the expected time.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Wisbech?
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 Wisbech home gives a room-by-room list.
Can you service a heat pump in Wisbech that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Wisbech, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Can I use the heat loss report to get other quotes?
Yes. A stand-alone heat loss report is yours to use, including sharing it with other installers so their quotes are based on the same figures. Comparing quotes like for like makes it easier to see differences in equipment, radiator upgrades and workmanship terms. The report states the assumptions used wherever construction could not be confirmed.
What is a design flow temperature?
The design flow temperature is the temperature of the water sent to your radiators or underfloor heating on the coldest design day. Heat pumps are more efficient at lower flow temperatures, typically around 35–50°C. Choosing it is a balance: a lower figure improves efficiency but can mean larger radiators in some rooms, so the design shows both.
