Before you book: heat loss surveys in Gourock
Homes around Gourock range from older terraces to newer estates, and each needs a different design. That is why we survey before we quote.
Houses in Gourock built in different eras can need very different heat pump sizes, which is why each is calculated room by room. Homeowners in Gourock 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.
- 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
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
What's included
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
For Gourock homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Gourock 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.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Scotland has its own permitted development rules for air source heat pumps and its own building standards, so we confirm what applies to your Gourock property at survey.

These are guide prices for Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, installed and including VAT. Your final price is fixed in a written quote after the survey and depends on the heat loss of the house, the radiators that need changing and where the unit goes.

Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.
Short winter days in Gourock and what they mean
On the shortest day Gourock gets only about 6 hours 57 minutes of daylight, with the sun around 11° up at noon. Long Scottish winters mean the heat pump runs for much of the year, so careful sizing, good controls and correctly sized radiators make a real difference.

Heat loss surveys in Gourock: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Gourock?
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 Gourock 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 Gourock home.
How long does installation take in Gourock?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Gourock 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.
