What to know about heat loss surveys in Leominster
Homes around Leominster range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
For Leominster homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction. Homeowners in Leominster 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.
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- 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
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
The survey in Leominster includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Leominster quote.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Since 29 May 2025, permitted development in England allows up to two air source heat pumps on a house, each up to 1.5 m³, with no blanket 1 m boundary rule — the installation must still meet the MCS planning standards, including the noise check. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation-area positions need extra consent, which we check at survey.
Heat loss survey costs around Leominster
The ranges below are typical installed prices for homes in Herefordshire, including VAT. A survey sets the exact figure, because two similar-looking houses in Leominster can need quite different radiators and pipework.
| Survey | Guide price |
|---|---|
| Home survey and heat loss calculation with an installation quote | Free |
| Stand-alone heat loss survey and report | £150–£400 |
Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.

Heat loss surveys in Leominster: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Leominster house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Leominster home.
Can you service a heat pump in Leominster that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Leominster, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
How long does installation take in Leominster?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Leominster home states the expected time.
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.
