See if your home is ready for a heat pump
Scout pulls your EPC data, checks your insulation and heating system, then connects you with MCS-certified installers.
What Scout checks for heat pumps
Everything that decides whether a heat pump is right for your home, gathered before an installer visits.
Current heating system
Gas, oil or LPG, and how a heat pump would replace it.
Radiator compatibility
Whether your existing radiators can work at lower flow temperatures.
Hot water demand
Cylinder size and daily usage to spec the right system.
Space for an outdoor unit
Where the external unit could sit and any noise considerations.
Grant eligibility
Whether you qualify for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
How it works
From postcode to heat pump in three simple steps.
Enter your postcode and Scout pulls your EPC data, insulation and current heating system straight from public records.
Scout analyses your EPC data, insulation levels, heating demand and grant eligibility, then recommends the ideal heat pump setup, with projected running costs and payback period for every option.
We introduce you to MCS-certified heat pump installers near you. You compare their responses and decide who to work with, with no obligation.

Scout Heat Pumps is a pre-suitability platform for home heat pump installations. It sits between your first question, “should I get a heat pump?”, and your first conversation with a qualified installer. We assess your property's insulation, heating demand, and existing system against key data, then tell you whether a heat pump is suitable and why. We connect you with MCS-certified heat pump installers, and we don't take a cut of your quote.
Yes. Running your property check is completely free and takes about two minutes. We're paid by installers when you choose to connect with them, never by adding anything to your quote.
Scout estimates the right capacity from your property's heat demand, insulation and hot water usage, then shows the running costs for each option so you can compare.
Savings depend on the fuel you're replacing and your tariff. Scout projects your likely running costs versus your current system so you can see the difference before you commit.
Often yes. Scout checks whether your current radiators can run at the lower flow temperatures a heat pump uses, and flags any that may need upgrading.
Most domestic heat pumps fall under permitted development, but we flag conservation areas, listed status, boundary distances and other local rules that could require permission.
Most installations are completed in two to three days once your installer has surveyed the property and scheduled the work.
