Common Questions About Heat Pumps

Straight answers to the things most homeowners ask.

Will a heat pump work in my home?

Most properties can be suitable for a heat pump, but the system must be correctly designed. Insulation levels, radiator sizing and heat loss calculations are important. A proper survey is always recommended.

Are heat pumps expensive to run?

When designed correctly, heat pumps can be very efficient. Running costs depend on electricity tariffs, insulation levels and system setup. A well-designed system is key to achieving savings.

Will I need new radiators?

Sometimes existing radiators are suitable, but in many cases upgrades may be required to operate efficiently at lower temperatures. This is assessed during system design.

Are heat pumps noisy?

Modern air source heat pumps are significantly quieter than older models. Correct positioning and installation are essential to minimise sound impact.

What grants are available?

Government incentives such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme may be available. Eligibility depends on your property and circumstances. We can help guide you through the process.

How much does a heat pump cost?

Costs vary depending on property size, system requirements and installation complexity. A tailored quotation based on a proper survey is always recommended.
