The short answer

A heat-pump proposal should explain your home’s needs, the changes to the heating system and how performance was estimated.

Describe the existing home

Collect heating bills, room sizes and information on insulation and ventilation. Explain which rooms are uncomfortable and how you use hot water. Tell the designer about planned renovation so the system can be considered alongside the building’s future needs.

Compare the complete scope

Check whether the proposal covers radiators or other emitters, a hot-water cylinder, electrical work, controls and removal of old equipment. Ask about outdoor-unit location, sound and maintenance access. Compare the same comfort requirements and electricity-price assumptions across offers.

Connect advice with the project

France Rénov’ can help orient your renovation plan and explain support routes. Ask which professional qualifications and technical conditions apply before relying on aid. Keep the technical choice separate from an advertisement promising a particular grant.

A practical next step

Request a written design explanation, a detailed scope and a handover plan that includes settings, maintenance and who to call for help.
