Heat loss survey for Troon homes
A heat pump suits most Troon homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
The survey in Troon includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours. A surveyor visits your Troon 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.
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
What's included
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
Houses in Troon built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Troon 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.

Winter daylight and heating in Troon

Heat loss surveys in Troon: questions
Do you cover Prestwick as well as Troon?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Prestwick, which is about 5 miles south-east of Troon, and across Ayrshire.
How long does installation take in Troon?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Troon home states the expected time.
Can you service a heat pump in Troon that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Troon, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model 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.
Will the survey check noise from the outdoor unit?
Yes. The surveyor identifies possible positions for the outdoor unit and carries out the MCS noise assessment, which estimates the sound level at the nearest neighbouring window from the unit's sound power level, distance and any barriers. In England, meeting the MCS planning standards is one of the conditions for permitted development. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules, which we check.
