Heating upgrade estimator

What this works out

The steps

Work through these calculators in order. Each one takes the measurements from the step before.

  1. Heat loss, room by room
  2. Radiator sizes
  3. Boiler size: if you're keeping a boiler
  4. Heat pump size: if you're switching to a heat pump
  5. Hot water cylinder
  6. Expansion vessel

Questions for your heating engineer

  • Will you do a full room-by-room heat loss survey before choosing the boiler or heat pump?
  • What flow temperature will the system run at, and will the radiators need changing?
  • Is the existing pipework big enough for the new flow rate?
  • Where will the cylinder and the heat pump go, and is there space for them?
