🧀 Start with Insulation and Airtightness

Heat pumps operate at lower temperatures than boilers, so it’s important to keep the warmth in.

βœ… Add loft and cavity wall insulation
πŸšͺ Seal draughty doors and windows
πŸͺŸ Use thermal blinds or heavy curtains

Even small insulation tweaks can reduce heat loss by 20–30%.


πŸ” Upgrade Radiators (If Needed)

Older homes often have radiators that are too small for low-temp heating.

🧠 Add Smart Controls for Zoning

Heat pumps + smart controls = maximum efficiency.

πŸ“± Control each room independently
🧠 Let your system learn your habits
πŸ›Œ Lower temps at night or when away

This saves energy without losing comfort.


🌿 Plan the Best Outdoor Unit Location

The outdoor unit needs space and airflow. We recommend:

🏑 Mounting on a quiet garden wall
πŸ”‡ Away from bedrooms and windows
πŸ’¨ Clear of bins, shrubs, and fences

We’ll help you choose the perfect spot.
