Heat loss survey for Royal Leamington Spa homes
In Royal Leamington Spa, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
For Royal Leamington Spa homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction. Houses in Royal Leamington Spa built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room.
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.
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
What's included
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- 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
The survey in Royal Leamington Spa 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 Royal Leamington Spa 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.

Heat loss surveys in Royal Leamington Spa: questions
Do you cover Warwick as well as Royal Leamington Spa?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Warwick, which is about 3 miles west of Royal Leamington Spa, and across Warwickshire.
How long does installation take in Royal Leamington Spa?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Royal Leamington Spa home states the expected time.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Royal Leamington Spa 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 Royal Leamington Spa 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.
