Is my home suitable for a heat pump?

Many homes can accommodate a heat pump, including older rural properties. Insulation, room-by-room heat loss, emitters and existing pipework all affect the design and likely running costs, so we survey the property before making a recommendation.

How much does a heat pump cost to install?

The final cost depends on the property's size, age, heat loss, existing pipework and any radiator changes. Eligible installations may receive support through the government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme. We provide a detailed proposal after surveying and designing the system.

Are they cheaper to run than a gas or oil boiler?

Heat pumps are remarkably efficient, generating multiple units of heat for every unit of electricity they use. However, running costs depend on your home's insulation, system design, and your electricity tariff. A well-designed system, like those we install, will be highly efficient, but actual savings vary by property.

A realistic view

Costs vary by propertyWhile the Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides substantial financial support, your final installation cost relies on the amount of preparatory work your home requires.
Insulation mattersInsulation can reduce heat demand and running costs, but older homes are not automatically unsuitable. The survey determines the right design for your property.
Reliable, not magicalWell-designed systems offer exceptional comfort and efficiency, but actual running cost savings depend entirely on your specific electricity tariff and usage habits.
