Heat pump installation checklist

If your customers are interested in installing a heat pump, there are several essential steps they should consider before going ahead. Home Energy Scotland has an installation checklist and guide which will walk them through what to consider throughout the installation journey – from research, obtaining quotes and available funding.

Renewables Installer Finder

The Renewables Installer Finder helps householders in Scotland to find Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) certified installers in their area. The tool shows trust-worthy reviews left by other customers and is free to use. It’s a great platform for installers to showcase their credentials and skills for heat pump installations which may ultimately lead to more installation enquiries.

Disconnecting your home from the gas network

After installing a heat pump, a homeowner may choose to disconnect their property from the mains gas supply to fully transition to an electric heating system. This decision is often driven by a desire to reduce carbon emissions, eliminate gas standing charges, and simplify energy use. To request disconnection, the homeowner must contact their gas supplier or network operator and formally apply for a permanent disconnection. The Institute of Gas Engineers and Managers (IGEM) provide guidance on how to go about this.
