Before you book: heat loss surveys in Waterlooville
Every property in Waterlooville 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.
A surveyor visits your Waterlooville home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized. The survey in Waterlooville 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
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
What's included
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
Design outdoor temperatures for Waterlooville and the wider Hampshire come from local cold-weather data, not a national average.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Waterlooville 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.

Heat loss surveys in Waterlooville: questions
Do you cover Havant as well as Waterlooville?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Havant, which is about 3 miles south-east of Waterlooville, and across Hampshire.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Waterlooville?
A home survey in Waterlooville 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.
Can you service a heat pump in Waterlooville that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Waterlooville, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model 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.
Can I use the heat loss report to get other quotes?
Yes. A stand-alone heat loss report is yours to use, including sharing it with other installers so their quotes are based on the same figures. Comparing quotes like for like makes it easier to see differences in equipment, radiator upgrades and workmanship terms. The report states the assumptions used wherever construction could not be confirmed.
