Heat loss survey for Denbigh homes
The question for a Denbigh 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.
For Denbigh homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction. The survey in Denbigh includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours.
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
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
What's included
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
Design outdoor temperatures for Denbigh and the wider Clwyd come from local cold-weather data, not a national average.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Denbigh 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.

Short winter days in Denbigh and what they mean
Denbigh has about 7 hours 32 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 Denbigh: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Denbigh?
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 Denbigh that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Denbigh, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Denbigh?
A home survey in Denbigh 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.
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.
How long does a heat loss survey take?
A typical survey takes 1–3 hours on site, depending on the size and complexity of the home. Larger or older houses with mixed construction, extensions or many rooms take longer. The calculations and design are completed afterwards, and the results are included in your quote or stand-alone report.
