Before you book: heat loss surveys in Liversedge
The question for a Liversedge home is rarely whether a heat pump can work, but what needs to change to make it work well: radiator sizes, pipework, controls and where the unit goes.
Homeowners in Liversedge thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size. Houses in Liversedge 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.
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- 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
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
A surveyor visits your Liversedge home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized.
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 Liversedge 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.

Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.
Winter daylight and heating in Liversedge
On the shortest day Liversedge gets only about 7 hours 26 minutes of daylight and the noon sun sits around 13° above the horizon. Northern winters tend to be longer, so a well-designed, efficient system matters more here because it runs for more of the year.

Heat loss surveys in Liversedge: questions
What size heat pump does a Liversedge home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Liversedge home.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Liversedge 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 Liversedge home.
How soon can you survey a home in Liversedge?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in West Yorkshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
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.
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.
