Before you book: heat loss surveys in Bridge of Weir
Homes around Bridge of Weir range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
The survey in Bridge of Weir includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours. Homeowners in Bridge of Weir thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size.
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
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
Houses in Bridge of Weir 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 Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Bridge of Weir can apply to Home Energy Scotland for a grant of up to £7,500 towards a heat pump, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, plus an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. You need a written funding offer before any work starts.
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.

Heat loss surveys in Bridge of Weir: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Bridge of Weir?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Bridge of Weir 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 Bridge of Weir home.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Bridge of Weir?
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 Bridge of Weir home gives a room-by-room list.
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.
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.
