Where do you stand with home heating?
Most people are confused. Gas is familiar, subsidies are complex, and advice is often biased by those who benefit from delaying decarbonisation.
At Warmur, we cut through the noise:
- We show you whether now is the right time for a heat pump.
- If it’s not right yet, we’ll outline the best 'for now' alternatives and give you a road map to make your home ready.
- If it is right, we make it simple, cost-effective, and tailored to your home.
Your heating shouldn’t just be low carbon — it should work for you, your budget, and your lifestyle.
Is a heat pump right for your home?
Not every home is ready yet.
Here are a few things you should consider:
-
Timing — if your boiler is new and working efficiently, a switch may not save money today.
-
Heating system compatibility — radiators or underfloor heating may need adjusting.
-
Space & layout — room for the unit, cylinder, or outdoor pipework.
-
Insulation & heat loss — draughty homes need some upgrades.
We help you figure out when the right moment is, and what to do in the meantime and any small upgrades now can make a future heat pump more effective.
Replace your boiler or wait?
This is the question most people wrestle with. Here’s our simple framework:
-
Your boiler is old or breaking down, consider replacement options now; we’ll show heat pump suitability vs modern gas boilers.
-
Your home is suitable now, we’ll run the numbers to make switching cost-effective and simple.
-
Your home isn’t ready yet, don’t panic. We’ll guide you through low-cost insulation, radiator upgrades, and other improvements so your home will be ready when it’s financially sensible.
Most people overestimate how quickly they need to switch. The right decision balances cost, disruption, and future-proofing.
