What to know about heat loss surveys in Bridgend
In Bridgend, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
The survey in Bridgend includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours. For Bridgend homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction.
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.
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
What's included
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
Design outdoor temperatures for Bridgend and the wider Mid Glamorgan come from local cold-weather data, not a national average.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
Homes in Bridgend can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which applies in Wales as well as England: £7,500 towards an air source heat pump, or £9,000 when it replaces oil or LPG heating for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies and deducts the grant.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Wales has its own permitted development rules for air source heat pumps, so we check what applies to your property, including listed building and conservation-area constraints, at the survey.

Heat loss surveys in Bridgend: questions
Can you service a heat pump in Bridgend that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Bridgend, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Bridgend?
Often some, not all. Heat pumps run best at lower water temperatures, so rooms with small radiators may need larger ones. The survey of your Bridgend home gives a room-by-room list.
How long does installation take in Bridgend?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Bridgend home states the expected time.
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.
