Before you book: heat loss surveys in Wrexham
The question for a Wrexham 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.
Homeowners in Wrexham thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size. Design outdoor temperatures for Wrexham and the wider Clwyd come from local cold-weather data, not a national average.
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
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
What's included
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
The survey in Wrexham includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Wrexham 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.
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 Wrexham
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Clwyd, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Wrexham can need quite different radiators and pipework.
| 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.
How long is the heating season in Wrexham?
Wrexham has about 7 hours 33 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 57 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 Wrexham: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Wrexham?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Wrexham home gives a room-by-room list.
What size heat pump does a Wrexham 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 Wrexham home.
How soon can you survey a home in Wrexham?
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 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.
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.
