👉 Start with Insulation and Airtightness
👉 Upgrade Radiators (If Needed)
👉 Add Smart Controls for Zoning
👉 Plan the Best Outdoor Unit Location
🧤 Start with Insulation and Airtightness
Heat pumps operate at lower temperatures than boilers, so it’s important to keep the warmth in.
✅ Add loft and cavity wall insulation
🚪 Seal draughty doors and windows
🪟 Use thermal blinds or heavy curtains
Even small insulation tweaks can reduce heat loss by 20–30%.
🔁 Upgrade Radiators (If Needed)
Older homes often have radiators that are too small for low-temp heating.
📏 We’ll check your radiators during your survey
♨️ Larger surface area = better performance

🧠 Add Smart Controls for Zoning

🌿 Plan the Best Outdoor Unit Location
The outdoor unit needs space and airflow. We recommend:
🏡 Mounting on a quiet garden wall
🔇 Away from bedrooms and windows
💨 Clear of bins, shrubs, and fences
We’ll help you choose the perfect spot.
