Heat loss survey for Pontypridd homes
Every property in Pontypridd 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.
Houses in Pontypridd built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room. The survey in Pontypridd 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.
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
- Homes with an existing heat pump that seems undersized or expensive to run
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
What's included
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
Design outdoor temperatures for Pontypridd 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 Pontypridd 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.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK, Wales included, until 31 March 2027. Planning rules for heat pumps in Wales are set by the Welsh Government and differ from England's, so the surveyor checks the unit position against them.

Winter daylight and heating in Pontypridd

Heat loss surveys in Pontypridd: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Pontypridd 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 Pontypridd home.
How soon can you survey a home in Pontypridd?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Mid Glamorgan. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Do you cover Llantrisant as well as Pontypridd?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Llantrisant, which is about 4 miles south of Pontypridd, and across Mid Glamorgan.
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.
How long does a heat loss survey take?
A typical survey takes 1–3 hours on site, depending on the size and complexity of the home. Larger or older houses with mixed construction, extensions or many rooms take longer. The calculations and design are completed afterwards, and the results are included in your quote or stand-alone report.
