Question 1

What is a ground source heat pump survey?

Accepted Answer

A ground source heat pump survey is a comprehensive site assessment conducted before installing a GSHP system. It includes ground condition evaluation, space assessment for ground loops (horizontal or vertical), heat pump unit location, access routes, electrical supply details, and heat loss calculation inputs.

Question 2

What's the difference between ASHP and GSHP surveys?

Accepted Answer

ASHP (air source heat pump) surveys focus on outdoor unit siting and noise calculations. GSHP (ground source heat pump) surveys include all of the above plus ground condition assessment, space evaluation for ground loops, and geological considerations. Both include heat loss calculations and electrical supply assessment.

Question 3

How much does a ground source heat pump survey cost?

Accepted Answer

Ground source heat pump survey costs vary depending on scope (survey only, survey + EPC, survey + heat loss calculation) and ground loop type (horizontal or vertical). We confirm scope, timeline, and pricing before booking—nothing happens until you approve. Contact us for a quote.

Question 4

How long does a ground source heat pump survey take?

Accepted Answer

The site visit typically takes 2-3 hours for GSHP surveys (longer than ASHP due to ground condition assessment). Survey packs are available in the portal immediately upon completion of the visit. EPC is delivered by next morning, and heat loss calculations are delivered the next day if required.

Question 5

What ground conditions are needed for a GSHP?

Accepted Answer

Ground source heat pumps require suitable ground conditions for ground loops. The survey assesses soil type, ground stability, space availability (for horizontal loops), or drilling feasibility (for vertical loops). Geological considerations are documented to support installation planning.

Question 6

Where do you provide ground source heat pump surveys?

Accepted Answer

We provide ground source heat pump surveys across the UK, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Liverpool, Newcastle, Sheffield, Bristol, Edinburgh, and all major UK cities. Based in Doncaster, we cover England, Scotland, and Wales.
