What to know about heat loss surveys in Lampeter
Homes around Lampeter range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
A surveyor visits your Lampeter home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized. Homeowners in Lampeter thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size.
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
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
What's included
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
Houses in Lampeter 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 Wales
Homes in Lampeter 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 Lampeter: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Lampeter?
A home survey in Lampeter 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 Lampeter?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Dyfed. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Carmarthen as well as Lampeter?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Carmarthen, which is about 20 miles south-west of Lampeter, and across Dyfed.
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.
Why can't you size the heat pump from my boiler?
Boilers are often much larger than a home's real heat loss, because they are sized for fast hot water and quick warm-ups. Matching a heat pump to the boiler's output usually means an oversized unit that costs more and switches on and off too often. A room-by-room calculation finds the actual heat demand, which is what the heat pump needs to meet.
