What to know about heat loss surveys in Bridgnorth
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Bridgnorth is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
For Bridgnorth homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction. A surveyor visits your Bridgnorth home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized.
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
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
Homeowners in Bridgnorth 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 England
In England 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), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Bridgnorth quote.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK until 31 March 2027. In England most houses can have an air source heat pump under permitted development, provided the unit meets the MCS noise and siting standards; the old 1 m boundary limit was removed on 29 May 2025. We flag listed buildings, flats and sensitive conservation-area positions at survey.
Heat loss survey costs around Bridgnorth
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Shropshire, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Bridgnorth 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 Bridgnorth?
Bridgnorth has about 7 hours 39 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 50 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 Bridgnorth: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Bridgnorth that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Bridgnorth, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Bridgnorth?
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 Bridgnorth home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Telford as well as Bridgnorth?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Telford, which is about 10 miles north of Bridgnorth, and across Shropshire.
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.
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.
