Check your home

About five minutes. No photographs or measurements needed; choose “not sure” where offered if you do not know.

Initial suitability guidance. Installations from April 2027; reviews, surveys and design available now.

Stage 1 of 4

Your property

Stage 1 of 4: your property
Just the first part, for example BD18 or LS6. We only use this to check whether you are in the area we cover.
An approximate answer is fine. “Not sure” is a perfectly good answer too.
Grant schemes can have their own EPC requirements, and those change. We ask so we know what to check, not to decide anything here.

Current condition

Best guesses are fine. We are looking for a general picture, not a survey.

Stage 2 of 4: current condition
How well insulated do you think the home is?
Do you have any paperwork showing insulation work that has been done? For example a cavity wall fill certificate, a loft insulation receipt, or an EPC improvement record.
Look at the pipes coming out of the wall or floor into one of your radiators. Which do they look most like? Any radiator will do. If you cannot see the pipes, “not sure” is a perfectly good answer. Two photographs of a radiator valve side by side. On the left, thin or microbore pipework, a narrow copper pipe usually around 8 to 10mm across, about the thickness of a pencil. On the right, standard radiator pipework, a noticeably thicker copper pipe usually around 15mm across.
Is there space outside for the heat pump unit? The unit needs outdoor space with clear airflow and access. Choose “not sure” if there may be space but you need advice on the position. Choose “no” only if no outdoor space is available.
A heat pump normally heats hot water into a store. A cylinder is the usual arrangement; where one will not fit, compact thermal storage may be considered as part of the design.
Which of these looks most like the electrical panel in your home? Three photographs of electrical panels side by side. A, an old fuse box: a rusty metal box with black rewireable fuse carriers. B, a modern consumer unit with MCBs and RCDs: a white plastic box with a row of black rocker switches and a red main switch. C, a modern consumer unit with RCBOs: a white plastic box with a row of blue switches, each with its own small test button.

If your home has an older-style fuse box, it may need upgrading — or in some cases a separate additional consumer unit fitted alongside it — as part of your heat pump installation. This is confirmed at survey and, where needed, included in your fixed price quotation.

Is the property listed, in a conservation area, or leasehold? None of these rules a heat pump out. They change what is permitted, so it helps to know early.

Your plans

Stage 3 of 4: your plans
Would you consider changing some radiators if the design needed it? The design may require larger radiators in some rooms. We explain any necessary changes before you decide. We can only progress if you would consider work that the design requires.

Your result

Before you start

21 questions across three stages, followed by your result. You can go back to change an answer.

This is an initial check. System sizing, radiator changes and the final quote need a survey.

Your answers and privacy

Your answers are processed in your browser and are not saved. They reach Airwarm only if you choose to submit the optional review form after an eligible result.

Google Analytics runs unless you opt out through Cookie settings; it does not receive your assessment answers. Privacy policy.

What do the three results mean?
  • GREEN — Likely suitable: positive indicators; you can submit your assessment for a Desktop Review.
  • BLUE — Needs a closer look: some answers need checking; you can submit them for review.
  • AMBER — Potentially unsuitable: significant constraints; your result explains which answers triggered it. There is no submission invitation.

Results are indicative. A survey and design confirm what your home needs.
