Heat loss survey for Dunblane homes
Homes around Dunblane range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
For Dunblane homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction. The survey in Dunblane includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours.
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.
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
What's included
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
Homeowners in Dunblane 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 Dunblane 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.

Designing for Dunblane's winters
On the shortest day Dunblane gets only about 6 hours 54 minutes of daylight, with the sun around 10° up at noon. Long Scottish winters mean the heat pump runs for much of the year, so careful sizing, good controls and correctly sized radiators make a real difference.

Heat loss surveys in Dunblane: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Dunblane?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Can you service a heat pump in Dunblane that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Dunblane, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Dunblane?
A home survey in Dunblane 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.
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.
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.
