Before you book: heat loss surveys in Camberley
A heat pump suits most Camberley homes, but the details decide how efficiently it runs. Our survey looks at insulation, radiators and hot water use room by room.
Design outdoor temperatures for Camberley and the wider Surrey come from local cold-weather data, not a national average. For Camberley homes with extensions or loft conversions, each part of the house is assessed on its own construction.
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
- Landlords comparing properties before deciding where to switch first
- Anyone getting a heat pump quote, as the first step
What's included
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Electrical supply and network operator notes
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Recommended heat pump size and design flow temperature
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
Homeowners in Camberley 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 Camberley 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.

Winter daylight and heating in Camberley
Camberley sees roughly 7 hours 51 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 36 minutes in June. Milder southern winters suit heat pumps well, though the system is still sized for a cold snap rather than an average day.

- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Heat loss surveys in Camberley: questions
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump in Camberley?
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 Camberley home gives a room-by-room list.
Do you cover Sandhurst as well as Camberley?
Yes. We arrange surveys and installation in Sandhurst, which is about 2 miles west of Camberley, and across Surrey.
How long does installation take in Camberley?
Most installations take 2–4 days on site. Jobs with several radiator changes or new pipework take longer, and your quote for a Camberley 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.
Why can't you size the heat pump from my boiler?
Boilers are often much larger than a home's real heat loss, because they are sized for fast hot water and quick warm-ups. Matching a heat pump to the boiler's output usually means an oversized unit that costs more and switches on and off too often. A room-by-room calculation finds the actual heat demand, which is what the heat pump needs to meet.
