Heat loss survey for Rhosllannerchrugog homes
Homes around Rhosllannerchrugog range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Houses in Rhosllannerchrugog built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room. For Rhosllannerchrugog 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.
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
What's included
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- 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
Homeowners in Rhosllannerchrugog thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size.
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 Rhosllannerchrugog quote.
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.

Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.
Winter daylight and heating in Rhosllannerchrugog

Heat loss surveys in Rhosllannerchrugog: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Rhosllannerchrugog?
A home survey in Rhosllannerchrugog 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.
What size heat pump does a Rhosllannerchrugog home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Rhosllannerchrugog home.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Rhosllannerchrugog house?
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 Rhosllannerchrugog home.
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.
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.
