Heat Pump Survey
Thinking about installing a heat pump?
Our expert team will assess whether your home is suitable and whether any insulation work is needed. If you decide to proceed, Your Home Better can provide quotes and oversee the installation from start to finish. Prices start at £225 for up to 4 bedrooms or £275 for over 4 bedrooms if purchasing the survey on its own.
The suggested measures for energy efficiency improvement detailed in a heat pump survey do not give specifics, if you are looking for a detailed plan of what to do to your property and how much you could save per measure we suggest purchasing a Whole House Plan alongside your heat pump survey.
If purchasing both plans we offer a discount of £55 for a property up to 4 beds or £65 for a property over 4 beds.
