Heat loss survey for Willenhall homes
Every property in Willenhall 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 Willenhall built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room. Homeowners in Willenhall thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size.
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
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
What's included
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- 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
A surveyor visits your Willenhall home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Willenhall 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.
What to budget for heat loss surveys in Willenhall
These are guide prices for the West Midlands, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.
| 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.
How long is the heating season in Willenhall?
On the shortest day Willenhall gets about 7 hours 38 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 Willenhall: questions
Do you cover Bilston as well as Willenhall?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Bilston, which is about a mile south of Willenhall, and across the West Midlands.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Willenhall?
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 Willenhall home gives a room-by-room list.
Can you service a heat pump in Willenhall that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Willenhall, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
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.
