Heat loss survey for Ammanford homes
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Ammanford is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
Houses in Ammanford built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room. For Ammanford homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction.
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
- 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
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
A surveyor visits your Ammanford home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Ammanford can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which applies in Wales as well as England: £7,500 towards an air source heat pump, or £9,000 when it replaces oil or LPG heating for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies and deducts the grant.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Wales has its own permitted development rules for air source heat pumps, so we check what applies to your property, including listed building and conservation-area constraints, at the survey.

Heat loss surveys in Ammanford: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Ammanford that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Ammanford, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Pontardawe as well as Ammanford?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Pontardawe, which is about 8 miles south-east of Ammanford, and across Dyfed.
How soon can you survey a home in Ammanford?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Dyfed. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
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.
