Compare design assumptions, equipment, grants and exclusions so you can see what each heat pump quote really includes.
Use these questions to compare heat pump design, costs, grants, warranties and aftercare before you accept a quote.
A sound heat pump quote should explain the survey, system design, costs, grant handling and any projected bill impact.
From sizing and radiators to controls and handover, good design can prevent avoidable comfort and performance problems.
