Before you book: heat loss surveys in Campbeltown
Homes around Campbeltown range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
For Campbeltown homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction. A surveyor visits your Campbeltown home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized.
Every heat pump we quote starts with a room-by-room heat loss survey, free with installation enquiries and also available as a stand-alone report.
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
What's included
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
Homeowners in Campbeltown thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Campbeltown can apply to Home Energy Scotland for a grant of up to £7,500 towards a heat pump, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, plus an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. You need a written funding offer before any work starts.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK, Scotland included, until 31 March 2027. Scottish permitted development rules and building standards apply, and the surveyor checks the unit position and any listed or conservation-area constraints.

Heat loss surveys in Campbeltown: questions
What size heat pump does a Campbeltown home need?
It depends on the heat loss, not the postcode. As a rough guide, a 3 bedroom semi often needs 6–9 kW, but the room-by-room survey sets the actual size for your Campbeltown home.
Can you service a heat pump in Campbeltown that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Campbeltown, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Campbeltown?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Campbeltown home gives a room-by-room list.
Is the heat loss survey free?
Yes, for installation enquiries the home survey and heat loss calculation are free, and the results form the basis of your written quote. If you only want the calculation and report, for example for building plans or comparing quotes, a stand-alone heat loss survey has a guide price of £150–£400, including VAT. We confirm which applies when you book.
How long does a heat loss survey take?
A typical survey takes 1–3 hours on site, depending on the size and complexity of the home. Larger or older houses with mixed construction, extensions or many rooms take longer. The calculations and design are completed afterwards, and the results are included in your quote or stand-alone report.
