What we look at

A survey covers the building fabric, radiators, hot water cylinder position, controls and practical installation details such as pipe routes and outdoor unit location.

It is partly engineering, partly usability. The system has to work technically, but it also has to fit the home and the people in it.

Want numbers for your home?

Check your heat pump estimate before booking a survey.

Use EPC data where available to see likely system size, installed price guide and £7,500 BUS grant deduction.
