Before you book: heat loss surveys in Great Yarmouth
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Great Yarmouth is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
Design outdoor temperatures for Great Yarmouth and the wider Norfolk come from local cold-weather data, not a national average. For Great Yarmouth 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
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
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
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
Houses in Great Yarmouth built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room.
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 Great Yarmouth 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.

Heat loss surveys in Great Yarmouth: questions
How long does installation take in Great Yarmouth?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Great Yarmouth home states the expected time.
Do you cover Lowestoft as well as Great Yarmouth?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Lowestoft, which is about 9 miles south of Great Yarmouth, and across Norfolk.
How soon can you survey a home in Great Yarmouth?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Norfolk. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
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.
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.
