Heat geek design consultation worth paying £250 for?

Not sure I'm buying the ZeroDisrupt premise from Heat Geek.

I get how some people may not want the disruption and may be willing to pay for that with lower efficiency and higher running costs (although do they really understand that is the choice they are making?), but we were happy to have a week of total disruption whilst the installers replaced all plumbing and radiators knowing we would achieve good flow rates and low flow temperatures from a properly optimised design.

It's a choice, and I guess it's good to have options, but like you I'm a little sceptical.

Heat Geek still offer an efficiency guarantee for their installs so theoretically their zero disrupt approach isn't too risky.

I found this video offering an interesting approach whereby the system is installed then 'tweaked' after a winter's experience. Radiator changes etc only as needed.

Edit: good to see a recognition that waiting weeks for an installation isn't a realistic approach especially to boiler breakdown opportunities.
