What to know about heat loss surveys in Pershore
Homes around Pershore range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Design outdoor temperatures for Pershore and the wider Worcestershire come from local cold-weather data, not a national average. A surveyor visits your Pershore 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
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
What's included
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
Houses in Pershore built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Pershore 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.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Since 29 May 2025, permitted development in England allows up to two air source heat pumps on a house, each up to 1.5 m³, with no blanket 1 m boundary rule — the installation must still meet the MCS planning standards, including the noise check. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation-area positions need extra consent, which we check at survey.
Heat loss survey costs around Pershore

Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.
Designing for Pershore's winters
Pershore has about 7 hours 43 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 45 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.

Heat loss surveys in Pershore: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Pershore 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 Pershore home.
How soon can you survey a home in Pershore?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Worcestershire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
What size heat pump does a Pershore 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 Pershore home.
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.
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.
