    Is the service right for me?

    The people who choose our heat pump plan service are varied, but everyone who comes to us wants the same thing: a better home for a better future.

    As our services are tailored to you, that also means that no question is too silly or too technical. From experienced construction professionals to rookie renovators, we serve everyone with the desire to get a heat pump.

    If you are looking for some extra support with your heat pump journey at any stage, we are always happy to help.

    Heat Pumps In Older Homes

    We have plenty of experience advising homeowners with older homes (see our case studies). If you have previously found it difficult getting a heat pump installer to visit or quote for your traditional brick or stone property, at Loco Home we are happy to help you take the first step towards a heat pump.

    Like all our services they are bespoke to your home and individual needs and preferences. Whether you want to prioritise cost, energy efficiency, or preserving your home’s heritage features, we listen and create a plan with you so you can feel confident that you will be a future happy heat pump owner!

    A Heat Pump Plan for Modern Homes

    If your home has been built with modern construction methods, we are always happy to help! We’ll always put you and your needs first when planning and answer any questions throughout the process.

    Getting a heat pump as part of renovation work or getting an extension.

    If you are planning on making some significant changes to your home, we heavily suggest getting retrofit advice as there is no better time than now to think about insulation, ventilation and heat pump installation. We can help you or your architect or contractor incorporate all of this into a cohesive plan.

    If you have been told a heat pump won’t work for your home, get in touch and chat with us first. Myths and outdated information about heat pumps is pervasive!

    FAQs

    What is the Heat Pump Plan?

    The Heat Pump Plan is a dedicated service designed to help you navigate the complex process of transitioning to a heat pump or optimising your existing gas boiler. We provide the precise technical calculations and system designs you need to ensure an efficient, cost-effective installation.

    What details are included in the Heat Pump Plan report?

    Your comprehensive report provides all the critical data required for a successful installation, including:

    Room-by-Room Heat Loss Calculations: A precise look at where your home loses heat.

    Proposed System Design: Recommended heat pump size (in kW), required radiator upgrades, and hot water storage solutions.

    Performance Projections: Estimated running costs and carbon savings compared to your current system.

    Supporting Data: Floorplan-style room breakdowns, specific radiator specifications, and the exact assumptions used in our calculations.

    Working with Installers

    How does this plan help me get quotes from installers?

    We make the quoting process faster and stress-free in three ways:

    Our Vetted Network: We can provide free quotes from our own network of trusted installers. Because they use our data, it saves them time and often reduces the number of times they need to visit your home.

    Independent Estimates: You can hand our report directly to any independent installer to get an accurate estimate.

    Fact-Checking: You can use our independent calculations to validate and double-check quotes and designs offered to you by other installers.
