Heat pumps are the future of low-carbon heating, but they reward a well-prepared home and punish a leaky, under-insulated one. The difference between an efficient, low-cost heat pump and a disappointing, expensive one is rarely the unit itself — it is the building's heat loss and the emitters it has to work through.
This guide applies fabric-first principles to heat-pump readiness. Work through it to understand heat loss surveys, the insulation and airtightness that matter, ventilation, emitters, and the common mistakes that leave homeowners disappointed — then book a measured Heat Pump Readiness Assessment to find out exactly where your home stands.
