Why Heat Loss Calculations Matter in Heating Design

When it comes to heating your home efficiently and comfortably, guesswork just doesn’t cut it. That’s why heat loss calculations are at the heart of every system we design.

What is a heat loss calculation? It’s a detailed measurement of how much heat each room in your home loses based on insulation, windows, floor area, and more.

Why it matters:

• Prevents oversized or undersized boilers and radiators

• Ensures every room warms evenly

• Saves money by optimising flow temperatures and system performance

Without accurate heat loss:

• Radiators may be the wrong size

• Rooms can overheat or stay cold

• You might waste energy (and money!) every day

At J6 Plumbing & Heating, every heat pump or boiler installation includes proper heat loss calculations. It's how we guarantee comfort, efficiency and long-term savings.
