Common Questions

Homeowner Questions Answered

Clear, straightforward answers about government grants, installer standards, and the quote process.

Is your service free for homeowners?

Yes, completely free. We connect you with vetted, MCS-certified local installers at no charge. Installers pay us a referral fee only when they successfully complete a job — so there is no cost to you at any stage.

How quickly will I hear from an installer?

Most homeowners receive their first call from a matched local installer within 24 hours of submitting their details. We match you with up to 3 installers in your area, so you can compare quotes before committing to anything.

What is the £9,000 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant?

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a UK Government grant providing £9,000 off the cost of installing an air source or ground source heat pump (increased from £7,500 from 21 July 2026). Your MCS-certified installer applies for the grant on your behalf and deducts it directly from your quote. The scheme runs until 31 December 2027.

Do I need planning permission for solar panels or a heat pump?

In most cases, no. Both solar panels and air source heat pumps qualify as Permitted Development for standard residential properties. Exceptions apply to Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas, and properties with Article 4 Directions. Your installer will advise during the free site survey.

Are your installers properly accredited?

Every installer in our network holds MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) certification — a legal requirement for accessing the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and Smart Export Guarantee. All installers are also vetted for insurance, reviews, and workmanship quality before joining our network.

What happens after I submit my details?

We match your property details, location, and technology interest to up to 3 qualified local installers. They will contact you directly to arrange a free, no-obligation site survey. You are under no obligation to proceed with any quote.
