What to know about heat loss surveys in Gosport
Every property in Gosport is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
Design outdoor temperatures for Gosport and the wider Hampshire come from local cold-weather data, not a national average. A surveyor visits your Gosport 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.
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
What's included
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
Homeowners in Gosport 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 England
Homes in Gosport can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK until 31 March 2027. In England most houses can have an air source heat pump under permitted development, provided the unit meets the MCS noise and siting standards; the old 1 m boundary limit was removed on 29 May 2025. We flag listed buildings, flats and sensitive conservation-area positions at survey.

Winter daylight and heating in Gosport
On the shortest day Gosport gets about 7 hours 57 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 16° above the horizon at noon. Winters this far south are milder than in most of the UK, which helps a heat pump run at low flow temperatures for much of the season.

Heat loss surveys in Gosport: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Gosport that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Gosport, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do you cover Portsmouth as well as Gosport?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Portsmouth, which is about 2 miles east of Gosport, and across Hampshire.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Gosport?
A home survey in Gosport 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.
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.
