Get the Heating Right First Time
Ever paid for temporary chillers that guzzle power and underdeliver? You’re not alone. Many homeowners and businesses instinctively reach for chiller hire when they need heating or cooling solutions. But what if a smarter, greener option exists? Enter the free heat pump site survey from Megawave. It’s your first step to tailor-made, efficient air source heat pump systems—no more guesswork.
In this article, we’ll show how a detailed heat pump site survey beats chiller hire alternatives by pinpointing your building’s exact needs, recommending zero-carbon refrigerant solutions like R290, and tapping into government grants. Ready to see the difference? Discover Megawave’s Eco-Friendly Heating Revolution with a free heat pump site survey and leave those bulky chillers behind.
What Is a Heat Pump Site Survey?
A heat pump site survey is a thorough on-site assessment that gathers every detail needed for an efficient heating or cooling system. Think of it as a full health check for your property’s thermal performance.
When a Megawave engineer visits:
- They measure your property’s insulation, window positioning and airflow.
- They note your current heating habits and comfort goals.
- They inspect potential locations for outdoor units.
- They review electrical supply and any pre-existing heating equipment.
- They calculate load requirements to choose the right pump size.
This isn’t a cursory glance. It’s an in-depth approach that guarantees your eventual system won’t be over-sized (wasting energy) or under-powered (leaving you cold). Plus, our site survey unlocks eligibility for various government grants, so you pay less upfront and slash bills faster.

The Downside of Chiller Hire for Heating Needs
Many operators turn to chiller hire because it seems quick and flexible. Ideal Heat Solutions, for example, offers temporary cooling, heater and chiller hire across London and the South East. They’re reliable in a pinch. But chiller hire for heating has hidden drawbacks:
- High hourly or daily rates that pile up.
- Inefficient energy consumption—chillers aren’t optimised for heat generation.
- Limited lifespan on hire units.
- One-size-fits-all approach with no custom design.
- No access to renewable rebates or grants.
In contrast, a bespoke heat pump design from Megawave is built to serve your needs for years—efficiently, affordably and with minimal carbon output.

Why Now Is the Time to Switch
The renewable heating market in the UK is booming. With a projected CAGR of 11.5% through 2030, air source heat pumps are poised to be the norm, not the exception. Government incentives make conversions affordable. Rising energy bills make efficiency essential. Worst of all, traditional heating and hired chillers are major CO₂ offenders.
A free heat pump site survey puts you ahead:
- Lock in lower operating costs.
- Slash your carbon footprint.
- Secure grant funding while it’s still available.
- Future-proof your property against tougher building regs.
