Before you book: heat loss surveys in Middlewich
Every property in Middlewich is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
Homeowners in Middlewich thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size. For Middlewich homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction.
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.
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
What's included
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
Houses in Middlewich built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room.
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 Middlewich 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 costs around Middlewich
Guide prices for Middlewich and the rest of Cheshire are shown below, installed and inc VAT. We publish ranges rather than a single figure because design details move the price, and the written quote after survey fixes it.

| Stand-alone heat loss survey and report | £150–£400 |
Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.
How long is the heating season in Middlewich?
Middlewich has about 7 hours 31 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 58 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 Middlewich: questions
How long does installation take in Middlewich?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Middlewich home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Middlewich that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Middlewich, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Middlewich?
A home survey in Middlewich usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
Is the heat loss survey free?
Yes, for installation enquiries the home survey and heat loss calculation are free, and the results form the basis of your written quote. If you only want the calculation and report, for example for building plans or comparing quotes, a stand-alone heat loss survey has a guide price of £150–£400, including VAT. We confirm which applies 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.
