What installers check in N3

A local survey turns the postcode estimate into something useful. Before comparing quotes, make sure each installer explains these points clearly.

  • Current heating fuel and whether it is eligible for grant replacement.
  • Insulation, glazing and overall heat loss.
  • Radiator sizes, pipework and whether a hot water cylinder is needed.
  • Outdoor space, access and the best place for the heat pump unit.

Extra checks for flats, terraces and conversions

  • Flats and leasehold homes may need freeholder or management company permission.
  • Upper-floor flats need careful outdoor unit siting and pipe route checks.
  • Terraced homes may have fewer siting options, especially without rear access.
  • Converted properties can vary a lot, so heat loss and hot water storage need checking.
