Heat loss survey in Stewarton: what to expect
Homes around Stewarton range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
For Stewarton homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction. Houses in Stewarton built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room.
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.
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
What's included
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
A surveyor visits your Stewarton home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Stewarton 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.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Scotland has its own permitted development rules for air source heat pumps and its own building standards, so we confirm what applies to your Stewarton property at survey.

Heat loss surveys in Stewarton: questions
How long does installation take in Stewarton?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Stewarton home states the expected time.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Stewarton?
A home survey in Stewarton usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
How soon can you survey a home in Stewarton?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Ayrshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
What is a design flow temperature?
The design flow temperature is the temperature of the water sent to your radiators or underfloor heating on the coldest design day. Heat pumps are more efficient at lower flow temperatures, typically around 35–50°C. Choosing it is a balance: a lower figure improves efficiency but can mean larger radiators in some rooms, so the design shows both.
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.
