What this page does

Summarises the CW area using one clean roll-up row: tariffs, housing mix, off-gas share, typical floor areas, solar yield and top localities. Then routes you to district pages for quotes.

Why CW is well-placed for heat pumps

  • Strong fundamentals with modern heat pumps now viable across most housing types.
  • House-heavy stock simplifies outdoor-unit siting and emitter upgrades.
  • Moderate solar yield lets PV offset a chunk of electricity use.

Tip: pair a heat pump with basic draught-proofing and TRV balancing to raise system COP before thinking about bigger works.

Planning & noise at a glance

Most single domestic installations are permitted development if they meet volume & noise rules. Always confirm site specifics on your district page when you start a quote.

  • Keep clearances to boundaries/windows; respect noise guidance at the nearest habitable window.
  • One outdoor unit per property under PD (additional units often need permission).
