Looks like OVO Energy partner with heatgeeks for their heat pump install work (possibly other insulation bits too). Can’t imagine they’d choose too much of a cowboy outfit as a big nationwide supplier?
Have come across them on YouTube where they do some install walkthroughs which I found interesting but definitely not an expert so couldn’t speak to their accuracy but they came across well/confident.

Surveys would be relevant for future installs as it'll be room size, radiator spec / heat loss calculations. It should give you a clear idea of heatpump size, radiator requirements, install location & considerations and system design. All those things shouldn't change over time.
However, what I've found though is that, from a BUS grant perspective, installers will want to survey themselves in case they get audited. They'll likely ask you to pay for their own survey even if you already have a super detailed one.
Basically, I would only bother with a survey in two cases:
- You're ready to install and it'll be part of your install cost
- You want to see if a heatpump is viable for your property and don't mind spending ~£300 to find out
- You're ready to install and it'll be part of your install cost

Has anyone had ‘heatgeeks’ out to do a survey?
As we are now definitely staying put here. I want to insulate our suspended floors, prior to this, I’d rather have the correct pipe work in place to save the aggro and difficulty in lifting them later on, as once the membranes are down it will be a mega pain. The heatpump will probably have to wait until next year, as solar this year, but I cannot do another year of freezing floors!
The survey is £350.00, which is not deducted from any future install. Has anyone had one and would care to elaborate on the usefulness, essentially I want everything I do in the next year to be future proof.
skint and cannot afford a full install now
