Heat loss survey for Mirfield homes
Homes around Mirfield range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
A surveyor visits your Mirfield home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized. Houses in Mirfield 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.
- 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
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
What's included
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
Homeowners in Mirfield thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Mirfield 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 Mirfield
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in West Yorkshire, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Mirfield can need quite different radiators and pipework.
| Survey | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Home survey and heat loss calculation with an installation quote | Free |
| Stand-alone heat loss survey and report | £150–£390 |
Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.
How long is the heating season in Mirfield?
On the shortest day Mirfield 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.
What happens after you enquire in Mirfield?
- Send your postcode and a few details, or use the guide price tool.
- A surveyor visits your Mirfield home, measures every room and checks where the outdoor unit can go.
- You receive a heat loss design and a fixed written quote, with any grant shown where it applies.
- Installers fit the unit, cylinder and any radiator changes, typically over 2–4 days on site.
- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Heat loss surveys in Mirfield: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Mirfield that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Mirfield, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
What size heat pump does a Mirfield 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 Mirfield home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Mirfield?
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 Mirfield home gives a room-by-room list.
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.
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.
