The Function & Fabric Method

Room-by-room heat loss and a fabric survey before anything is specified. This is where we find out what your house actually needs — and, just as often, what it doesn't. Most of the money wasted on retrofit is spent doing the right things in the wrong order.

We look at what insulation can be added within grant parameters, and we do it before sizing the machine. Every improvement to the fabric shrinks the heat pump you need, the cost of installing it, and the cost of running it for the next twenty years. Funding is arranged through Whole House Heating Ltd, and we'll tell you plainly what's available and what it covers.

The heat pump, the cylinder, the emitters, the pipework — designed around a house that now loses less heat, and around keeping your storage rather than consuming it.

Weather compensation, flow temperatures, hot water scheduling, tariff setup. This is where a system stops being correct and starts being comfortable. Most installers skip it.

A visit after your first winter, when you actually know how the house feels. Adjustments made with a year of living in it behind you.
