Heat loss survey in Cheshunt: what to expect
Homes around Cheshunt range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Houses in Cheshunt built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room. The survey in Cheshunt 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.
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
What's included
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
For Cheshunt homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction.
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 Cheshunt quote.
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.
What to budget for heat loss surveys in Cheshunt
These are guide prices for Hertfordshire, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.

|---|---|
| Home survey and heat loss calculation with an installation quote | Free |
| Stand-alone heat loss survey and report | £160–£420 |
Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.
How long is the heating season in Cheshunt?

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