ASHP or GSHP?

Use the heat pump survey page when the system type is not fixed

If the job is not yet pinned down to ASHP, the main heat pump survey page covers the ASHP vs GSHP decision before this ASHP-specific scope is confirmed.

Survey professional capturing site context for an ASHP survey

The site detail that matters

We capture the bits that decide whether an ASHP job is straightforward or awkward: location, routes, electrics, and usable space.

What’s included

What happens during an air source heat pump survey

A proper ASHP survey should answer the siting, sound, electrical, and heat-loss questions before the design team has to guess.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about ASHP surveys

An ASHP survey covers unit siting, MCS 020(a) noise inputs, access routes, electrics, heat-loss inputs, floor plans where needed, and clear site photos.

Price depends on scope. We confirm whether you need survey only, survey plus EPC, or survey plus heat loss, then agree the final UK price and timing before booking.

Most visits take 1-2 hours. The report lands in the portal on completion. EPC follows the next morning, and heat loss the next day if it is in scope.

You need siting, noise, heat loss, electrics, and route detail before an ASHP job is ready to price, design, or book properly.

Yes. ASHP means air source heat pump. This page covers pricing, report detail, and booking for air source heat pump surveys, while the air source heat pump survey guide explains checklist and scope detail.

MCS 020(a) is the mandatory standard for air source heat pump sound calculations under Permitted Development Rights in England. It requires noise levels to be below 37 dB at assessment positions. If calculations fail, full planning permission is required (typically 8+ weeks).

They need DEA capability for EPC work where relevant, plus real heat-pump survey experience. Our survey team works on renewable installs every day.

Yes. Where it is in scope, the ASHP survey includes the inputs and evidence needed for the MCS 020(a) sound-calculation route so the job is easier to review before booking or design moves forward.
