Before you book: heat loss surveys in Amesbury
Every property in Amesbury is different, so the design starts from measurements rather than a rule of thumb. That keeps the system the right size and the running costs predictable.
Design outdoor temperatures for Amesbury and the wider Wiltshire come from local cold-weather data, not a national average. For Amesbury 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.
- 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
- Self-builders and architects who need emitter and system sizes early
What's included
- Radiator schedule with any upgrades needed for each room
- Outdoor unit siting options and noise check
- Hot water cylinder sizing for your household
- Room-by-room heat loss calculation using the MCS method
- Written results in your quote, or a stand-alone report if you order one
The survey in Amesbury includes a check of where the outdoor unit could sit and how its sound would reach neighbours.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Amesbury can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.
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.
What to budget for heat loss surveys in Amesbury

Inc VAT. A stand-alone report is for homeowners who want the design without an installation quote.
Designing for Amesbury's winters
On the shortest day Amesbury gets about 7 hours 53 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 15° above the horizon at noon. Winters this far south are milder than in most of the UK, which helps a heat pump run at low flow temperatures for much of the season.

Heat loss surveys in Amesbury: questions
How long does a heat pump survey take in Amesbury?
A home survey in Amesbury 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.
Where would the outdoor unit go on an Amesbury 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 Amesbury home.
How soon can you survey a home in Amesbury?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in Wiltshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
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.
