What to Expect from a Heat Pump Installation in Yorkshire: A Step-by-Step Guide

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 🤝

We don’t just leave you at the handover stage. With Busy Energy you get:

• Full manufacturer and MCS-backed warranties

• Advice on how to run your system for maximum efficiency

• Annual servicing options to keep everything in top shape

• A direct line to our Yorkshire-based team for support whenever you need it
