Heat loss survey for Warrenpoint homes
In Warrenpoint, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
The survey in Warrenpoint includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours. Design outdoor temperatures for Warrenpoint and the wider County Down 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.
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
What's included
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
A surveyor visits your Warrenpoint home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Northern Ireland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme covers England and Wales only, and there is currently no dedicated heat pump grant for homeowners in Northern Ireland. Our quote for a Warrenpoint home is therefore shown without a grant deduction; if support becomes available we will tell you how it applies.
Installing heat pumps has been zero-rated for VAT in Northern Ireland since 1 May 2023, in line with the rest of the UK, until 31 March 2027. Northern Ireland has its own permitted development rules and building regulations, and we confirm what applies to your Warrenpoint property at survey.

Heat loss surveys in Warrenpoint: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Warrenpoint 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 Warrenpoint home.
How soon can you survey a home in Warrenpoint?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in County Down. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Newry as well as Warrenpoint?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Newry, which is about 6 miles north-west of Warrenpoint, and across County Down.
Why can't you size the heat pump from my boiler?
Boilers are often much larger than a home's real heat loss, because they are sized for fast hot water and quick warm-ups. Matching a heat pump to the boiler's output usually means an oversized unit that costs more and switches on and off too often. A room-by-room calculation finds the actual heat demand, which is what the heat pump needs to meet.
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.
