Heat loss survey for Brierley Hill homes
Homes around Brierley Hill range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Design outdoor temperatures for Brierley Hill and the wider the West Midlands come from local cold-weather data, not a national average. For Brierley Hill 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
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
A surveyor visits your Brierley Hill home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Brierley Hill 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 Brierley Hill: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Brierley Hill?
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 Brierley Hill home gives a room-by-room list.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Brierley Hill 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 Brierley Hill home.
How soon can you survey a home in Brierley Hill?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in the West Midlands. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Is the heat loss survey free?
Yes, for installation enquiries the home survey and heat loss calculation are free, and the results form the basis of your written quote. If you only want the calculation and report, for example for building plans or comparing quotes, a stand-alone heat loss survey has a guide price of £150–£400, including VAT. We confirm which applies when you book.
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.
