We tackle one of the most important aspects of heat pump installations – heat loss calculations and heat pump sizing. Our expert panel, featuring Michael Crook from Heat Pump Installers UK, Graham Hendra and James Parker from the Renewable Heating Hub community, discusses why getting the heat loss calculation right is essential to ensuring your heat pump is the correct size for your property.

We explore common issues that arise from inaccurate calculations and how homeowners can take steps to avoid costly mistakes. James also shares his personal experience with incorrect heat loss surveys and how it almost led to an oversized and inefficient heat pump.
