Heat loss survey for Moseley homes
In Moseley, 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.
Design outdoor temperatures for Moseley and the wider the West Midlands come from local cold-weather data, not a national average. A surveyor visits your Moseley home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized.
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
- 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
What's included
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
The survey in Moseley 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
Homes in Moseley 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.
Guide prices for heat loss surveys in Moseley
Guide prices for Moseley and the rest of the West Midlands are shown below, installed and inc VAT. We publish ranges rather than a single figure because design details move the price, and the written quote after survey fixes it.
| Survey | Guide price |

| Home survey and heat loss calculation with an installation quote | Free |
| Stand-alone heat loss survey and report | £150–£400 |
Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.
Short winter days in Moseley and what they mean
On the shortest day Moseley gets about 7 hours 40 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 Moseley: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Moseley that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Moseley, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How soon can you survey a home in Moseley?
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.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Moseley?
A home survey in Moseley 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.
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.
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.
