Before you book: heat loss surveys in Blairgowrie
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Blairgowrie is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
For Blairgowrie homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction. The survey in Blairgowrie 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
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- 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
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
A surveyor visits your Blairgowrie home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
In Scotland, heat pump funding comes through Home Energy Scotland rather than the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: a grant of up to £7,500 (up to £1,500 extra for eligible rural and island homes) and an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. For a Blairgowrie home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK, Scotland included, until 31 March 2027. Scottish permitted development rules and building standards apply, and the surveyor checks the unit position and any listed or conservation-area constraints.

Designing for Blairgowrie's winters
Blairgowrie has about 6 hours 48 minutes of daylight at midwinter against 17 hours 47 minutes in midsummer. Heat pumps are designed to keep working well below freezing, but the design temperature for the survey is set for local conditions, not an average day.
The steps for heat loss surveys in Blairgowrie
- Send your postcode and a few details, or use the guide price tool.
- A surveyor visits your Blairgowrie home, measures every room and checks where the outdoor unit can go.
- You receive a heat loss design and a fixed written quote, with any grant shown where it applies.
- Installers fit the unit, cylinder and any radiator changes, typically over 2–4 days on site.
- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Heat loss surveys in Blairgowrie: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Blairgowrie?
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 Blairgowrie home gives a room-by-room list.
How soon can you survey a home in Blairgowrie?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Perth and Kinross. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Blairgowrie 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 Blairgowrie home.
What is a design flow temperature?
The design flow temperature is the temperature of the water sent to your radiators or underfloor heating on the coldest design day. Heat pumps are more efficient at lower flow temperatures, typically around 35–50°C. Choosing it is a balance: a lower figure improves efficiency but can mean larger radiators in some rooms, so the design shows both.
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.
