An Introduction to Air Source Heat Pump Surveys: The Growing Potential & Complications of Surveys
As the British Government continue to level up the UK's renewable energy sector for both domestic and commercial properties, there are now more potential customers than ever before. Knowing the suitability of an installation as early as possible by using a technical survey is absolutely vital.
Striving to meet this increased demand is usually when installers come across their first major headache; having the resources at hand to cover the requirements of a technical survey.
Some of these hurdles include:
-
Deciding which survey software to use or purchase
-
Investing in mobile devices for surveyors
-
An increased fleet, and associated fleet management
-
Logistics and back end administration
-
Training new starters
-
Hiring and HR
-
Implementing a national infrastructure quickly
Since our inception, we have been growing our infrastructure to comfortably cover all of the above, handling our clients requirements up and down the UK, whilst still providing a guaranteed 24 hour document turnaround from point of survey (48 hour for survey and design).

What do we provide?
Over a hundred renewables installers use Apex Renewable Energy Surveys for their pre-installation requirements. Although the core requirements of a heat pump survey remain the same, the information that each installer needs for their projects varies, and some may require specific information about the property and/or project that is not readily available on any generic survey forms.
Years of carrying out surveys and building relationships with different installers across the UK has allowed us a unique insight to the industry, and as a result, our surveys are not only by far the most in-depth on the market, but remain in constant development, ensuring absolute accuracy right across the board.

Understanding Air Source Heat Pump Surveys
Internal measurements of the entire property including all internal and external walls, ceiling heights, glazing and doors, as well as radiator sizes, proposed equipment locations, and much more.
All of our surveyors are qualified Domestic Energy Assessors (DEA's) who can also create multiple draft EPC's on every appointment, which reflect the existing condition, and also any additional measures being installed alongside the heat pump.
Air Source Heat Pump Floor Plans
A vital part of a successful installation is the correct sizing of radiators throughout the property. This can be achieved by accurate floor plan drawings, digitally drawn using professional software exclusive to Domestic Energy Assessors.
This simplifies and streamlines the installation process itself, particularly when ordering and delivering the equipment to site, and also when discussing the installation itself with your customer.
Matching the room names on a floor plan to a radiator list eliminates any errors or misunderstandings when your installers are on site, and puts your customer completely at ease, knowing that your communication with your fitters is second to none.
Air Source Heat Pump Survey Costs
As we discussed further up on this page, covering in-house technical surveys on properties for air source heat pump installations could turn into a significantly expensive task, that may even require a full time workforce just for this one part of the installation journey.
We can offer our services for a fixed or a variable price per survey, allowing you to streamline your costings and profits when installing your customers new system.
This allows things to remain as simple as possible, without having to re-calculate all the required components of the cost per survey.
Increased Sale Conversion Rates
Our professional and accurate surveys not only result in smoother installs, but also result in drastically increased sales conversion rates for all of our clients.
Installers have consistently reported that their customers feel much more at ease that an independent company will be performing their property survey and system design, as opposed to a sales representative, who may miss vital details within the property that would hinder an installation.
Our technical surveyors are passionate about renewable technology and are more than happy to answer any non-contractual questions that a customer may have, and to also discuss their best options from an installers point of view. This puts your customers mind at rest, knowing that their installation will be looked at with the care and professionalism it deserves. A
Heat Loss Survey
As an additional service to our heat pump surveys, our in-house design team can also carry out in-depth heat loss calculations as an additional service, to be handed back to you as a fully comprehensive heat loss survey pack.
This can free up hundreds of hours of administration for your company, and we will always return the heat loss calculations over to you within in 48 hours of the performed survey.
Heat Pump Survey Locations
We have the largest network of fully qualified and experienced Domestic Energy Assessors (DEA's) in the country, allowing us to easily access around 95% of the country, including off-grid towns across the north and east of England and Wales.
