Technical Survey & Heat Pump Readiness

    Technical Survey & Heat Pump Readiness

    Independent Property Assessment for Heat Pump Installation

    Before installing a heat pump, the property must be assessed properly. Our technical surveys evaluate whether a home is heat pump ready and identify practical improvements that will reduce heat loss and improve system performance. This service is ideal for homeowners seeking independent advice or installers wanting pre-design validation.

    What's Included

    A thorough property assessment covering every detail.

    Full property fabric assessment
    Insulation review (loft, walls, floors)
    Window & glazing performance review
    Air tightness considerations
    Existing heating system evaluation
    Radiator suitability assessment
    Pipework review
    Electrical supply considerations
    Hot water cylinder suitability

    Why It Matters

    A heat pump is only as effective as the building it serves.

    By identifying improvements before installation, we help protect both installers and homeowners from poor system outcomes.

    Reduce running costs
    Improve seasonal performance
    Avoid oversizing equipment
    Increase occupant comfort
    Prevent costly redesigns

    Who This Is For

    Who This Service Is For

    Homeowners seeking independent, unbiased advice before committing to installation
    Heat pump installers wanting pre-design validation and risk reduction
    Housing associations planning large-scale retrofit programmes
    Property developers requiring compliance documentation

    You'll receive a clear heat pump readiness evaluation, practical recommendations to improve efficiency, guidance on cost-effective fabric upgrades, advice on system type and configuration, and planning considerations for installation.

    From site evidence to design

    A technical survey gathers property-specific information for heating decisions. It reviews accessible fabric, existing emitters and pipework, hot water arrangements and relevant practical constraints; the scope and any access limitations should be agreed in advance.

    The findings help identify missing evidence and issues to resolve before design. Electrical or structural work may require separate checks by the appropriate specialist. A readiness survey is not an installation or commissioning service.

    If you are an installer supplying your own complete site survey, Aros can provide outsourced desktop design instead of repeating the survey.

    Common questions

    Do I need a survey before choosing a heat pump?

    Property evidence is needed for reliable sizing and design. A survey can establish dimensions, fabric and system information when these are not already available.

    Will the survey include installation?

    No. Aros provides independent survey and design services, not installation. The agreed survey records findings and informs the next design or specialist checks.

    Can an installer provide the survey information?

    Yes. Complete installer-supplied survey evidence can support Aros's desktop heat loss and heating design services. Confirm the required information and scope first.
