Heat loss survey for Tamworth homes
A heat pump suits most Tamworth homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
Design outdoor temperatures for Tamworth and the wider Staffordshire come from local cold-weather data, not a national average. For Tamworth 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.
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
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
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
Homeowners in Tamworth 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
Homes in Tamworth 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.
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 surveys in Tamworth: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Tamworth?
A home survey in Tamworth 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.
Do you cover Lichfield as well as Tamworth?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Lichfield, which is about 6 miles north-west of Tamworth, and across Staffordshire.
How long does installation take in Tamworth?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Tamworth home states the expected time.
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.
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.
