Understanding Heat Loss Surveys

What Is a Heat Loss Survey?

A heat loss survey measures how much heat escapes from different areas of your property, including walls, windows, floors, ceilings and ventilation. At Perceptive Heating, our engineers carry out detailed room-by-room assessments to calculate the heating requirements of each space. These calculations provide the information needed to design a heating system that is correctly sized for your property.

Improving Existing Heating Efficiency

If your current heating system is inefficient or struggles to maintain comfortable temperatures, a heat loss survey can help identify its heating requirements and inform potential improvements.

What We Assess During a Survey

Detailed Room-by-Room Assessment

During a heat loss survey, our engineers assess each room individually, examining factors such as room size and layout, insulation levels, windows and doors, wall and floor construction, and ventilation. Each of these elements affects how much heat a room loses and the energy required to keep it warm. Using this information, we calculate the specific heating requirements for every room, allowing us to design a heating system that is accurately sized for your property.
