What Are Heat Loss Calculations?
Heat loss calculations are performed after a heat loss survey on a property and help understand the heating needs of the property by calculating the heat loss of the properties fabric. Heat loss calculations help an installer understand how much heat the building will loose through though the year.
This calculation is essential for installing the right size heat pump and getting the correct radiators sizing for the property. Having accurate heat loss calculations performed will ensure the efficiency of the system design and prolong the life of the product by making sure the system is not under or over sized putting strain on the system.
Why Use Apex For Your Heat Loss Calculations in Middlesex?
Alongside the technical surveyors, we have a full time, in-house design team with a collective 30+ years of experience in designing heating systems and performing heat loss calculations. Apex Renewable Energy Surveys started in Doncaster which is based in Yorkshire.
Working to the standards and methodology set out in MCS3005-D and the CIBSE Domestic Heating Guide, our service includes:
-
Complete room-by-room heat loss calculations for the full property
-
A detailed heat loss summary
-
Required emitters with outputs at the required flow temperature
-
Details of the proposed equipment (such as SCoP, maximum output, etc)
-
MCS035 Model Performance Estimation
-
MCS020 Sound Calculations
-

Understanding Radiator Sizing and Heat Loss Calculations in Middlesex
As part of air source heat pump survey we also provide the full measurements of existing radiators and the room available for future changes. Apex Renewable Energy Surveys understand the importance of sizing radiators correctly with air source heat pumps and our professionally trained office staff specialise in heat loss calculations. This allows them to accurate calculate the correct radiators needed for the designed flow temperature of the ASHP that has been selected for the job.
Key Benefits of Heat Loss Calculations Done by Apex
MCS and DNO Documentation
We provide MCS and DNO documents on our jobs to help alleviate your admin work and process's within in your office making a smoother process for your customers.
You will receive a full radiator schedule stating which radiators need to be replaced what that radiators you need to replace them with.

Apex Renewable Energy Surveys will also provide a full floor plan after each survey, giving you a far easier job of planning your new potential installation. Not only does the floor plan make planning the installation run a lot smoother but it allows better communication between you and your customer. The customer will be able to understand which room you are discussing with them at any point, bedroom 1 and bedroom 2 can start to get confusing at some points in discussions with a floor plan guide this can happen much easier. This also allows installers to understand where the radiators are located and the basic information of the cylinder and current boiler locations.
Heat Loss Calculation Costs in Middlesex
Heat loss calculations are very admin heavy and require a lot of knowledge and expertise this can often put up hurdles for new companies or growing companies. Apex Renewable Energy Surveys already have a fully professional established team with years of experience to perform heat loss calculations in a timely manor while making sure the accuracy is kept to high standard.

Importance of Heat Loss Calculations in Middlesex
Heat loss calculations are a crucial step in the effective installation of heat pumps in Middlesex. They ensure that heating systems are energy-efficient, cost-effective, and tailored to the unique needs of local properties. With the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) providing a strong incentive for adopting heat pumps, accurate heat loss assessments play a vital role in maximizing benefits for homeowners in Middlesex.
Why Heat Loss Calculations Matter in Middlesex:
-
Precise Heat Pump Sizing
Accurate heat loss assessments determine the heating requirements of a property, ensuring the heat pump is neither too small to provide adequate warmth nor too large, which could lead to inefficiencies and increased costs. -
Energy Savings
By calculating where and how much heat escapes a property, homeowners can design systems that operate with minimal energy waste, reducing utility bills and overall energy consumption. -
Adapting to Middlesex’s Urban Climate
Middlesex has a mix of urban and suburban environments, where properties face varying challenges like heat loss through poorly insulated walls or windows. Heat loss calculations help create solutions tailored to these specific conditions. -
Qualification for Financial Incentives
To qualify for the £7,500 BUS voucher, heating systems must meet strict efficiency standards. Accurate heat loss calculations ensure the system complies with these criteria, enabling Middlesex homeowners to benefit from the scheme. -
Improved Comfort
Proper calculations help eliminate cold spots and uneven temperatures, ensuring consistent and reliable warmth throughout homes, which is especially valuable during Middlesex’s colder months. -
Support for Sustainable Living
Heat pumps are an eco-friendly alternative to traditional heating systems, and accurate heat loss calculations enhance their performance, helping reduce carbon footprints and supporting Middlesex’s contribution to national climate goals. -
Tailored Solutions for Varied Properties
Middlesex features a diverse housing stock, from modern flats to period homes. Heat loss calculations allow systems to be customized based on the insulation quality, size, and construction of each property. -
Compliance with Building Standards
UK regulations require heat pump installations to meet specific energy efficiency standards. Heat loss calculations ensure compliance, avoiding potential legal and inspection challenges. -
Maximizing Efficiency and Longevity
A well-sized and efficient heat pump not only reduces operating costs but also minimizes wear and tear, leading to lower maintenance expenses and an extended system lifespan.
Conclusion
For homeowners in Middlesex, heat loss calculations are essential to the successful implementation of heat pumps. By ensuring systems are appropriately sized and energy-efficient, these calculations lower running costs, improve home comfort, and reduce environmental impact. Coupled with the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme, accurate assessments make heat pumps a practical and sustainable heating choice for Middlesex properties.
