Heat Pumps for Developers, Architects and Builders
Whether you’re a developer, architect, builder or project manager, we can design and install a heat pump system for your project. Choosing PBT Installations and the heat pumps we recommend gives your clients a reliable, low-carbon heating system they can depend on for years.
We get involved from the start, so the heat pump and heating system are built into the design rather than worked around later. We take responsibility for full designs, drawings, schematics and room-by-room heat loss calculations, so we understand your project and can recommend the best solution. We can also design solar PV, battery storage and ventilation alongside the heat pump, or bring in our trusted partners where that suits your project better.

Benefits of Heat Pumps for Developers and Their Clients
- Planned in from day one: we work from your drawings, so the heat pump location, plant room, pipework and heat emitters fit the design.
- Full design responsibility: heat loss calculations, schematics and drawings, all from one MCS-certified installer.
- Works around your programme: we coordinate with project managers, builders and other trades on site.
- Helps with energy targets: low-carbon heating helps your project meet energy efficiency requirements and achieve a strong EPC.
- A selling point for buyers: lower running costs and no gas or oil on site.
- Long-term reliability: a good quality, correctly installed heat pump can last 20 years or more with an annual service.
Frequently Asked Questions
At what stage should we involve you in a project?
As early as possible, ideally at design stage. That way the heat pump location, plant room, pipework and heat emitters are planned in from the start rather than worked around later.
Can you provide designs and heat loss calculations?
Yes. We take responsibility for full designs, drawings, schematics and room-by-room heat loss calculations, so the heating system is incorporated seamlessly into your project.
Do you work on new builds as well as renovations?
Yes. We work on new builds, self-builds, conversions and renovations, for architects, developers, builders and project managers.
Will you work alongside other trades on site?
Yes. We work directly with project managers, builders and other trades, and plan our work around your programme so the installation runs smoothly.
Who handles MCS certification and grants?
We do. We’re MCS-certified (26427), register the installation on completion and, where your client is eligible, apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant on their behalf. New builds still under construction generally can’t claim the grant, and we’ll advise on eligibility early.
Can you install solar, batteries and ventilation too?
Yes. We design and install heat pumps, solar PV, battery storage, energy management and ventilation together as one whole-home system, with a single point of contact for your project.
