Heat loss survey for Halewood homes
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Halewood is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
The survey in Halewood includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours. For Halewood 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.
- 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
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
Design outdoor temperatures for Halewood and the wider Merseyside come from local cold-weather data, not a national average.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Halewood can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Since 29 May 2025, permitted development in England allows up to two air source heat pumps on a house, each up to 1.5 m³, with no blanket 1 m boundary rule — the installation must still meet the MCS planning standards, including the noise check. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation-area positions need extra consent, which we check at survey.

Heat loss surveys in Halewood: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Halewood?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Merseyside. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Halewood?
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 Halewood home gives a room-by-room list.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Halewood 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 Halewood home.
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.
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.
