Why NE 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).
