Introduction

One of the first questions many homeowners ask is, “How long will the installation take?”

The answer depends on your property and the work involved. At Lifetime Savings, we’ll explain what to expect from the beginning, so there are no surprises along the way.

1. Every Home Is Different

The installation time varies from one property to another.

Factors such as your existing heating system, whether new radiators or a hot water cylinder are needed and the size of your home can all influence the timescale.

Your approved installer will discuss this with you before work begins.

2. Careful Planning Makes a Difference

A successful installation starts long before the engineers arrive.

Following your free eligibility assessment, your home will be professionally surveyed to ensure the system is correctly designed for your property. Good planning helps the installation run as smoothly as possible.

3. Quality Comes First

While most homeowners are keen for the work to be completed quickly, it’s more important that it’s completed properly.

A carefully installed and tested Air Source Heat Pump will provide reliable, energy efficient heating for years to come.
