Heat loss survey in Stratford-upon-Avon: what to expect
Every property in Stratford-upon-Avon 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.
Design outdoor temperatures for Stratford-upon-Avon and the wider Warwickshire come from local cold-weather data, not a national average. Houses in Stratford-upon-Avon 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.
- 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
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
What's included
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
Homeowners in Stratford-upon-Avon 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 Stratford-upon-Avon 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.
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 Stratford-upon-Avon: questions
How long does installation take in Stratford-upon-Avon?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Stratford-upon-Avon home states the expected time.
How soon can you survey a home in Stratford-upon-Avon?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Warwickshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Alcester as well as Stratford-upon-Avon?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Alcester, which is about 7 miles west of Stratford-upon-Avon, and across Warwickshire.
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.
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.
