Are you a developer and unsure how to incorporate heat pumps into your new developments? At Alto Energy, we make it easy for property developers to install heat pumps into their latest housing projects.
Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular choice for rural housebuilders, however many developers have still never used heat pumps on their developments. With home buyers becoming more environmentally aware, heat pumps are becoming more desirable. We believe 2020 is the year to leave antiquated and inefficient oil and LPG boilers in the past, and make the switch to heat pumps.
Why Would You Choose Heat Pumps?
In 2025, the Government is planning to ban fossil fuel boilers being installed in new build properties. You can read more about that in our blog here:
Throughout 2019, we welcomed new installation and housebuilder partners in their droves. With increasing consumer awareness and demand for low carbon technologies, we have spoken with hundreds of experienced heating installers and housebuilders over the past 12 months.
By working with Alto Energy, we make installing heat pumps, and accessing all the benefits of heat pump technology, as simple as possible. Through our unique business model, we handle all of the complex design work and MCS paperwork. This ensures each homeowner with one of our heat pumps has a system that is designed properly, is fully accredited for any grant payments they might be eligible for, and has a full suit of warranties and insurance protection.
Follow A Live Project
We are currently putting together a blog series in which we are following a live project for 5 plots in Yorkshire with one of our regular developer customers. In this series, we describe each stage of the journey, highlighting how Alto Energy can bring value and convenience to your project.
