Heat loss survey for Deeside homes
The question for a Deeside home is rarely whether a heat pump can work, but what needs to change to make it work well: radiator sizes, pipework, controls and where the unit goes.
Houses in Deeside built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room. Homeowners in Deeside 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.
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
What's included
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
Design outdoor temperatures for Deeside and the wider Clwyd come from local cold-weather data, not a national average.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
In Wales 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; £2,500 for air-to-air). The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies to Ofgem for you, and the grant comes off your Deeside quote.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Wales has its own permitted development rules for air source heat pumps, so we check what applies to your property, including listed building and conservation-area constraints, at the survey.
What to budget for heat loss surveys in Deeside
These are guide prices for Clwyd, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.
| Survey | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Home survey and heat loss calculation with an installation quote | Free |
| 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.
Designing for Deeside's winters
On the shortest day Deeside gets about 7 hours 31 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 13° up. The heating season runs from autumn into spring, so a heat pump that is sized correctly and set up with weather compensation does most of its work in steady, cool conditions.

Heat loss surveys in Deeside: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Deeside?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Clwyd. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Can you service a heat pump in Deeside that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Deeside, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does installation take in Deeside?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Deeside home states the expected time.
Will the survey check noise from the outdoor unit?
Yes. The surveyor identifies possible positions for the outdoor unit and carries out the MCS noise assessment, which estimates the sound level at the nearest neighbouring window from the unit's sound power level, distance and any barriers. In England, meeting the MCS planning standards is one of the conditions for permitted development. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules, which we check.
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.
