Heat pumps are a fantastic alternative to gas heating providing you’ve got the right EPC rating on your home. Installation options such as ground source and air source are available depending on your property.
Heat pumps offer 300% more efficiency than an average gas boiler, meaning you get the best of both with reduced energy costs and helping the planet one day at a time.
Our team can design, install and maintain a new heat pump with multiple options of manufacturer and size.
Your one stop shop for heat pumps
A heat pump is a device that transfers heat from one place to another using a refrigerant. It works by extracting heat from a source (such as air, water, or the ground) and transferring it indoors or outdoors to heat or cool a space.
Yes, heat pumps can be efficient in the UK, especially air source heat pumps which can extract heat from the outdoor air even in cold temperatures. Ground source heat pumps are also efficient but may require more installation space and initial investment. Heat pumps are measured with a COP - The Co-efficient of performance.
COP, or Co-efficient of performance is a measure used to evaluate the efficiency of a heat pump. The higher the COP, the more efficient the unit is. Running your heat pump at a lower temperature and minimising heat loss will increase the COP of your heat pump.
The cost of installing a heat pump in the UK can vary depending on factors such as the type of heat pump, the size of the property, and any additional requirements such as insulation upgrades. On average, installation costs can range from £8,000 to £18,000.
Heat pumps operate quietly, especially modern models. However, like any heating or cooling system, they do produce some noise during operation. Proper installation and maintenance can help minimise any noise.Generally they are quieter than a gas boiler.
In most cases, you don't need planning permission to install a heat pump in the UK, especially for air source heat pumps. However, there may be exceptions, particularly for listed buildings or properties in conservation areas. It's advisable to check with your local planning authority.
Yes, heat pumps can work in cold weather, although their efficiency may decrease as the outdoor temperature drops. Air source heat pumps are designed to operate efficiently even in temperatures below freezing, but ground source heat pumps may perform better in extreme cold conditions.
The lifespan of a heat pump can vary depending on factors such as the quality of the unit, how well it's maintained, and how often it's used. On average, a well-maintained heat pump can last between 15 to 20 years or more.
Yes, many heat pumps can be configured to provide hot water as well as space heating. This can be achieved through a dedicated hot water cylinder or by integrating the heat pump with an existing hot water system.
Yes, heat pumps are eligible for government grants and incentives in the UK, such as the boiler upgrade scheme (BUS). This scheme provides financial support to homeowners who install renewable heating systems, including heat pumps, helping to offset the cost of installation and promote sustainable energy use.
