Heat loss survey for Connah's Quay homes
A heat pump suits most Connah's Quay homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
Design outdoor temperatures for Connah's Quay and the wider Clwyd come from local cold-weather data, not a national average. Homeowners in Connah's Quay thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size.
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.
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
What's included
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
Houses in Connah's Quay 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 Wales
Homes in Connah's Quay can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which applies in Wales as well as England: £7,500 towards an air source heat pump, or £9,000 when it replaces oil or LPG heating for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies and deducts the grant.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK, Wales included, until 31 March 2027. Planning rules for heat pumps in Wales are set by the Welsh Government and differ from England's, so the surveyor checks the unit position against them.

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 Connah's Quay home.
