Use this checklist when reviewing installer proposals. Tick each line before signing to reduce avoidable project risk and scope disputes.
Download-and-use checklist layout
Print this page or copy it into your project notes and mark each item as Complete, Needs evidence, or Not answered. If a quote cannot clear the core checks below, request revisions before deposit payment.
Installer and scope
- ☐Who is responsible for full design, commissioning, and handover?
- ☐Are room-by-room calculations included in writing?
- ☐Does the quote list all exclusions (electrics, scaffolding, making-good)?
Grant checks
- ☐Which grant assumptions are included and who submits the application?
- ☐What evidence is needed if grant approval is delayed or rejected?
- ☐Is the quoted net price still valid if grant rules change before installation?
Heat-loss survey checks
- ☐Was a full room-by-room heat-loss survey completed on your actual property?
- ☐What design temperatures were used for your location?
- ☐Have infiltration and ventilation assumptions been explained?
Radiator and underfloor checks
- ☐Which radiators stay, which are upgraded, and at what flow temperature target?
- ☐If underfloor heating exists, does the quote include mixing and control strategy?
- ☐Is there evidence the emitter design can meet peak winter demand?
Hot water checks
- ☐Is cylinder volume sized for household occupancy and usage pattern?
- ☐Are legionella cycles and hot-water setpoint strategy explained?
- ☐Are pipe insulation and recirculation losses addressed?
Warranty and aftercare
- ☐What parts and labor durations apply, and what voids warranty?
- ☐Who handles first-year optimization visits and control tuning?
- ☐What are expected maintenance costs and service intervals?
Red flags
- No written room-by-room heat-loss output.
- Quoted SCOP or savings without explaining assumptions.
- Grant amount presented as guaranteed cash rather than conditional support.
- No clear emitter upgrade scope despite high flow temperature design.
- No commissioning plan, handover checklist, or aftercare contact.
Methodology and source links
This checklist aligns with the same transparency approach used across HeatWise pages: explicit assumptions, source-linked grant checks, and caution around projected savings.
