Check Heat Pump Grant

Quote readiness checklist

Tick what you already know. The list stays in your browser. It does not book a survey or decide a grant.

Want a quote for this home?

Send the country, the fuel and the heat pump type. The form emails this site. It does not name an installer.

What a ready request names

A useful quote request says where the home is, who owns it, what heats it now, and which heat pump is being asked about. Those four facts are enough for an installer to say whether a survey is worth booking.

Place and owner

England or Wales, and who owns it

Scotland and Northern Ireland use other schemes

Fuel and system

Oil, LPG, coal, gas or electric

Plus air-to-water, ground source or air-to-air

Still not a decision

Survey, then Ofgem

The checklist does not reserve a grant

What the checklist is for

People ask for quotes before they know the fuel or the heat pump type, and the replies are then hard to compare. The list is a pause before that. It does not store an account and it does not contact an installer.

When the boxes you care about are ticked, use the quote form. That form emails this site after a security check. It does not pass the details to an installer.

Who should use it

Useful if

  • You are about to ask for a survey in England or Wales.
  • You can name the fuel and the heat pump type.
  • You want two quotes you can put side by side.

Stop and check first if

  • The home is in Scotland or Northern Ireland.
  • You rent, and the landlord has not agreed.
  • The system on the quote is a hybrid.

What still needs a survey

A complete checklist is not a heat-loss calculation. The installer still has to see the radiators, the cylinder space, the electrics and where the unit can sit. Read what a quote must contain before you pay a deposit. This is a guide, not a decision. Your installer applies and Ofgem decides.

Frequently asked questions

Does ticking the list book a survey?

No. The ticks stay in your browser. Nothing is sent when you check a box.

Do I need every box ticked?

You need the country, who owns the home, the current fuel, and whether the system is a hybrid or a new build. The other lines are there so a quote request is specific.

Can a tenant use the checklist?

Yes, to see what is missing. The grant is applied for by an installer on behalf of the owner, so a tenant still has to involve the landlord.

Is a ticked list a grant decision?

This is a guide, not a decision. Your installer applies and Ofgem decides.
