What to know about heat loss surveys in Bognor Regis
Every property in Bognor Regis 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.
Homeowners in Bognor Regis thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size. A surveyor visits your Bognor Regis 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.
- 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
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
The survey in Bognor Regis 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 Bognor Regis quote.
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.

Winter daylight and heating in Bognor Regis
Bognor Regis sees roughly 7 hours 57 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 30 minutes in June. Milder southern winters suit heat pumps well, though the system is still sized for a cold snap rather than an average day.

Heat loss surveys in Bognor Regis: questions
How long does installation take in Bognor Regis?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Bognor Regis home states the expected time.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Bognor Regis 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 Bognor Regis home.
Do you cover Chichester as well as Bognor Regis?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Chichester, which is about 6 miles north-west of Bognor Regis, and across West Sussex.
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.
