Before you book: heat loss surveys in Chapeltown
Most homes can run on a heat pump if the system is designed properly, and Chapeltown is no different. The key is matching the heat pump and radiators to the home's heat loss.
For Chapeltown homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction. A surveyor visits your Chapeltown 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.
- 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
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
Homeowners in Chapeltown thinking about insulation work can use the survey to see how it would change their heat pump size.
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 Chapeltown quote.
Installing heat pumps is zero-rated for VAT across the UK until 31 March 2027. Since 29 May 2025, permitted development in England allows up to two air source heat pumps on a house, each up to 1.5 m³, with no blanket 1 m boundary rule — the installation must still meet the MCS planning standards, including the noise check. Listed buildings, flats and some conservation-area positions need extra consent, which we check at survey.

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.
