Learn from local homeowners through Nesta’s Visit a Heat Pump scheme, where you can hear real experiences and even visit a heat pump in action.

Have you heard of heat pumps but aren't sure what they are or how they work? There is a free and easy way to learn more about heat pumps from those living with one near you:

  • Want to visit a heat pump?

Find out what it’s actually like to live with a heat pump from real owners near you, and even visit one in person to see and hear it for yourself. Nesta’s Visit a Heat Pump scheme connects you to people in your area to hear their unbiased experience.

  • Do you own a heat pump already?

Help others make a decision about getting a heat pump by listing your installation on Visit a Heat Pump. Respond to messages or schedule in-person visits, it’s totally up to you. Even just listing your heat pump on the site helps people see them nearby.
