Heat loss survey in Kenilworth: what to expect
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Kenilworth is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
For Kenilworth homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction. Homeowners in Kenilworth thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size.
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
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
What's included
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
The survey in Kenilworth includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours.
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 Kenilworth quote.
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.

Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.
Short winter days in Kenilworth and what they mean
On the shortest day Kenilworth gets about 7 hours 41 minutes of daylight, with the noon sun around 14° up. The heating season runs from autumn into spring, so a heat pump that is sized correctly and set up with weather compensation does most of its work in steady, cool conditions.

Heat loss surveys in Kenilworth: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Kenilworth that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Kenilworth, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How soon can you survey a home in Kenilworth?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Warwickshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth home.
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.
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.
