Heat pumps work best in well-insulated homes and are a energy-efficient alternative to traditional boilers. They harness renewable energy from the air (air source) or ground (ground source) to heat your home. By switching to a heat pump, you can reduce your carbon footprint and potentially lower your energy bills.
Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are the future of heating for our homes. We install air source and ground source heat pumps and we will help you find the best solution for your home's heating needs.
What is a heat pump?
What are the benefits of heat pumps?
Minimal maintenance
Heat pumps are cheaper and less disruptive to install than a ground source heat pump. They are installed outside your home and can be fitted to a wall or placed on the ground.
Very efficient
Air source heat pumps produce lower carbon emissions than most fossil fuel appliances. They can convert 1 kilowatt of electricity into 3.5 kilowatts of heat, meaning they can be 350% efficient.
Significant savings on your energy bills
Significant savings to be made, especially for homeowners currently using oil and LPG. Further savings can be made if used in conjunction with solar panels to power your heat pump.
Government grants available
The Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is designed to help reduce the total cost of installing a low carbon, renewable heating system. We are a BUS approved installer, helping customers to get thousands off the cost of their install.
Heating all year round
Ground source heat pumps require minimal maintenance and offers heating all year round. The collector pipe is not susceptible to changes in outside air temperatures and provides an efficient way to heat your home or business.
Reduced carbon footprint
Heat pumps use cleaner electricity, which can help reduce your home's carbon footprint. They also have a long lifespan of up to 20-25 years, which is double the lifespan of a typical boiler.

Not much. The model and size of the heat pump depends on the heat requirement for the property so varies slightly. Most heat pumps are roughly 1m wide x 1m tall and sit against an external wall. Inside, the new heat pump cylinder will typically go in place of the existing cylinder.
-
Air source heat pumps have the capability to remain efficient even in extreme cold; they continue to function down to -20°C.
-
After carrying out a survey and completing heat loss calculations, a report is compiled explaining the size of the system and estimated running costs. A typical installation takes around 3-4 days.
