What to know about heat loss surveys in Nuneaton
Every property in Nuneaton is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
Houses in Nuneaton built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room. For Nuneaton 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.
- 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
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
A surveyor visits your Nuneaton home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Nuneaton 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.

Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.
How long is the heating season in Nuneaton?
On the shortest day Nuneaton gets about 7 hours 39 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 Nuneaton: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Nuneaton?
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 Nuneaton home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Bedworth as well as Nuneaton?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Bedworth, which is about 3 miles south of Nuneaton, and across Warwickshire.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Nuneaton?
A home survey in Nuneaton 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.
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.
What is a design flow temperature?
The design flow temperature is the temperature of the water sent to your radiators or underfloor heating on the coldest design day. Heat pumps are more efficient at lower flow temperatures, typically around 35–50°C. Choosing it is a balance: a lower figure improves efficiency but can mean larger radiators in some rooms, so the design shows both.
