Find heating projects before the installation is booked in

New homes, extensions and property conversions are being planned in your area. Many could create opportunities for new heating systems, upgrades or additional heating zones. Planr helps you spot relevant projects and introduce your business while they’re still taking shape.

The next heating installation might start with an extension

Imagine a homeowner planning a substantial extension that could need additional radiators, underfloor heating or changes to their existing system.

Or a property owner converting an older building into residential accommodation, potentially requiring a completely new heating installation.

You might not hear about either project until a builder or homeowner starts gathering quotes.

But the planning applications could already be available on the council website.

Heating work isn’t always mentioned directly in planning descriptions, so finding potential opportunities means looking at the proposed building work and deciding which projects could be relevant.

Planr does the searching and helps you identify applications worth a closer look.

What Planr looks for for heating engineers

Planr identifies planning applications that may create opportunities for heating businesses, including:

• New homes: Potential complete heating installations, including boilers, heat pumps or other systems.

• Large extensions: Projects that may need additional heating capacity or changes to an existing system.

• Property conversions: Buildings being converted into flats or other accommodation that could require new heating arrangements.

• Barn conversions: Potential heating installations within newly created living spaces.

• Energy efficiency improvements: Applications mentioning heat pumps or other heating-related alterations where planning consent is required.

• Commercial developments: Projects that may involve new or altered heating systems.

Most boiler replacements and many heating upgrades don’t require planning permission. An extension application also won’t confirm exactly which heating system the owner intends to use.

Planr highlights projects based on their potential relevance, leaving you to review the details and decide which ones suit your services.

Introduce your business while the heating options are being considered

Once you’ve found an application that interests you, Planr helps you create a personalised letter introducing your business.

Your letter can reference the proposed project rather than arriving as a generic heating advert.

On Growth and Pro, Planr can also learn about your business from your website, helping your letters reflect the services you actually offer, whether that’s boiler installations, heat pumps, radiators, underfloor heating or complete heating systems.

Download the letter to print and post yourself, or choose Planr’s Print & Post service for £2.50 per letter.

You approve every letter before anything is sent.

Find potential heating work beyond your usual enquiries

Recommendations and repeat customers are valuable, but they don’t necessarily show you what people nearby are planning next.

Planr gives you another way to discover potential heating projects across your chosen council areas.

Review the applications, choose the projects that match your services and make a professional introduction while the property owner may still be considering their options.

You decide which opportunities are worth pursuing.
