Every air source heat pump that needs consent starts life as a planning application with an address, a description of the work and a homeowner, landlord or developer still deciding who will fit it. Reach that application first and you are the installer, supplier or designer on the phone while everyone else waits for the tender.

Planning Signal puts those applications in your inbox the morning they go live. You see the listed farmhouse swapping oil for a heat pump, the school replacing its gas plant and the housing association retrofitting a whole street. You read the description, check the site and make contact before a shortlist exists.

That head start wins the job. Quote first, shape the specification and turn a planning record into a signed order. With more than 10,000 air source heat pump applications on record and fresh ones published week after week across 400+ councils in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, you have a steady stream of work to fill your diary in the areas you serve.

Stop chasing jobs that went to tender last month. Start each day with the clients who are choosing right now.

What counts as an Air Source Heat Pump application

An air source heat pump application is any planning record where the work includes fitting, replacing or moving an outdoor heat pump unit. You receive every one that matches your keywords, whatever the building.

Householder applications put you in front of homeowners

These are installs that fall outside permitted development: a unit on a front elevation, a second unit, a position close to a boundary or a model too big for the limits. The homeowner has already decided on a heat pump. Your job is to be the firm they choose to fit it.

Listed building heat pump consents reward specialists

Any fixing to listed fabric needs listed building consent, so these applications describe historic homes, churches and estate buildings moving to low carbon heat. They need careful siting, sympathetic pipe runs and heritage-ready design. Get in early and your experience wins the brief.

Conservation area installs show you the visible jobs

An air source heat pump conservation area application tells you the unit faces a road or sits in public view. Acoustic enclosures, screening and coloured casings become part of your sale.

Commercial and public projects bring the big orders

Schools, offices, care homes, leisure centres and warehouses apply for full planning to install heat pump plant on roofs and in compounds. These are multi-unit orders with plant rooms, controls and maintenance contracts attached.

New builds and retrofit schemes fill your pipeline

Housing developments that specify heat pumps, social housing retrofits and building conversions all set out the heating strategy in the description. You see the scheme before the mechanical package goes out to tender, and you pitch while the design is still open.

Who tracks Air Source Heat Pump applications

Every business in the heat pump chain wins more when it reaches the client before the decision on who to hire.

Installers book surveys before rivals hear of the job

MCS installers and heating engineers use these applications as ashp installer leads. You see the address, write to or call the applicant, book the heat loss survey and quote while the homeowner is still gathering names. Planning approval and your install slot then arrive together.

Builders and contractors land the enabling works

Concrete bases, plinths, trenching for pipe runs, enclosures and electrical upgrades all come with the unit. Builders and electrical contractors who see the application first package these works and win them in one go.

Manufacturers and merchants get specified early

When a commercial scheme or housing development names a heat pump in its application, the specification is still open. Specification teams and merchants contact the agent and the developer, put their units into the design and secure the supply order before the tender lands.

Architects and consultants win the design and consent work

Acoustic consultants step in when an officer asks for a noise assessment. Heritage consultants write statements for listed and conservation schemes. Architects and planning agents pick up redesigns when a scheme meets objection, and energy consultants offer design-stage modelling. Each one sees exactly where their expertise is wanted.

Maintenance firms build a service book

Every approved commercial heat pump becomes plant that needs servicing for years. Reach the owner during planning and you sign the maintenance contract alongside the install.

Frequently asked questions

Will I catch applications that never use the words 'air source heat pump'?
Yes. You set the keywords, so add every term your clients and their agents use: ASHP, heat pump, air to water, renewable heating, low carbon heating. Leads matches each new application against all of them, so a description that says 'replacement of oil boiler with ASHP' reaches you as surely as one that spells it out.
Do installs under permitted development show up?
An install that meets ashp permitted development rules needs no application, so there is nothing to publish. You do see every lawful development certificate, where a homeowner asks the council to confirm the install is allowed. Those applicants are committed buyers who have chosen a heat pump and need an installer now.
What if the council does not publish the applicant's contact details?
You still hold the site address, the planning reference and the agent firm wherever it is named. Write to the property with a tailored letter that quotes the application, or call the agent who drew up the plans. Agents run repeat schemes for repeat clients, so one good relationship brings you job after job.
Can I look back at applications from earlier years?
Yes. Research comes with Leads, so you search past applications with advanced filters and export the results to CSV. Approved schemes that have not started are warm prospects for your next quote, and refused schemes point you to clients who need a better design and a firm that knows how to get it through.
Is £49 + VAT a month worth it for a small firm?
One heat pump install pays for years of Leads. You choose the areas you serve, so every email holds jobs within reach, and the pipeline stops promising leads slipping through the cracks. Small firms win by being first to the door, and Leads makes being first your daily habit.
