Thinking about switching to a heat pump but not sure what the installation process actually involves? At Busy Energy, we know it can feel like a big step – but with the right team, the process is smooth, straightforward and designed around your home.
Here’s a step-by-step guide so you’ll know exactly what to expect when you choose a heat pump installation in Yorkshire.
Step 1 – Free Home Assessment & Survey 🏡
Every home is different, so the first step is a proper survey. One of our experts will visit your property (or sometimes start with a virtual consultation) to:
Assess your current heating system
Check insulation levels and EPC rating
Look at where the outdoor unit could be fitted
Discuss your heating and hot water needs
This helps us design a system tailored to your home – no guesswork, just practical solutions.
Step 2 – Quotation & Funding Options 💸
Once we’ve done the survey, we’ll provide a detailed quote showing:
The right type and size of heat pump for your property
Estimated running costs and savings
How much you could claim from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (£7,500 grant)
Any other cashback available from your mortgage lender
This way you’ll see the full picture of costs and savings before making a decision. Busy Energy then takes care of all the admin so you don’t have to. We’ll:
Apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant on your behalf
Help you claim any eligible mortgage cashback rewards
Ensure your system is registered with MCS certification (needed for warranties and funding)
Step 3 – Preparing Your Home 🔧
Before installation begins, our team will arrange everything with you. That usually means:
Booking your installation dates in advance
Checking where the heat pump outdoor unit will be placed
Planning pipework routes inside your home
Step 4 – Heat Pump Installation 🚚
On installation day, our engineers will:
Position and install the outdoor heat pump unit in your garden or driveway
Connect the unit to your heating and hot water system inside
Install or upgrade radiators or underfloor heating if required
Fit a new hot water cylinder if needed
Test everything for efficiency and performance
Most installations take 2–5 days depending on the size of your home.
Step 5 – Testing & Final Checks ✅
Once fitted, we’ll:
Run full performance tests
Make sure the heat pump is working efficiently and quietly
Step 6 – Handover 🤝
We explain everything you need to know and:
Show you how to control your new system
Provide all paperwork, certifications and warranties
Step 7 – Aftercare Support & Servicing 🤝
