Before you book: heat loss surveys in Clevedon
In Clevedon, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
The survey in Clevedon includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours. A surveyor visits your Clevedon home to measure each room, window and wall before any heat pump is sized.
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.
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
- Homeowners planning insulation or building work who want to know the effect on heat demand
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
What's included
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
Houses in Clevedon 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 Clevedon 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 Clevedon: questions
How soon can you survey a home in Clevedon?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Somerset. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
How long does a heat pump survey take in Clevedon?
A home survey in Clevedon usually takes one to two hours. The surveyor measures every heated room, checks windows, walls and radiators, and looks at where the outdoor unit and cylinder can go.
Can you service a heat pump in Clevedon that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Clevedon, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Will the survey check noise from the outdoor unit?
Yes. The surveyor identifies possible positions for the outdoor unit and carries out the MCS noise assessment, which estimates the sound level at the nearest neighbouring window from the unit's sound power level, distance and any barriers. In England, meeting the MCS planning standards is one of the conditions for permitted development. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules, which we check.
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.
