FAQ
What is a heat pump?
A heat pump is a heat source no different than a gas boiler, it just uses the ambient air temperature to superheat a refrigerant. This heat is then transferred into the water thus heating your home or hot water cylinder.
Are Heat Pumps Loud?
The short answer is no, they are only around 53DB @1mtr. Imagine an internal fan running on low but outside. You won't hear it, trust me.
How big is a heat pump?
They are depending on the model 1.1m wide by 0.9m high and 0.47m deep. Can you imagine a 65inch TV, about this size on your outside wall.
How much will a heat pump cost to install?
On average you will pay £5,500 for a properly installed heat pump, our systems on average operate on a 4:1 ratio meaning we are 300% more efficient than a gas boiler and 120% more efficient than the MCS standards which many larger firms only aim for.
How long will the installation take?
We aim to complete it within four to five days. The Cold water will be live throughout and the hot water returned by day two. The electricity will only be off for a couple of hours on day three and finally, the heating will be restored on day four or five once the final commissioning has been completed.
Will all my heating pipework need changing?
No, we have mostly completed retrofit heat pump installations. We can run two different flow rates by adding a form of hydraulic separation between the heat pump and the original heating circuit. A much higher heat pump circuit flow rate compared with a much slower, possibly high-pressure loss heating circuit.
What is the likely savings?
Let's do a little math. To heat our home, we require 100kwh of Gas @ 10p =£10.00, and you would think 100kwh of electricity @ 24p = £24.00, but no. Our Heat Pump is 400% efficient, so we only need 20kwh of electricity @ 24p = £4.80. We save £5.20 over gas. This gap will only increase with improved property insulation, renewable tariffs, and Solar and battery systems. Gas is likely to increase in cost to the same level as electricity or surpass it.
Where can a heat pump be located?
We are F-GAS qualified which means not only can we install mono block heat pumps but split systems too. Only a handful of heat pump installers are F-GAS as such are limited to 15mtrs from the cylinder. We can install up to 40mtrs using an indoor Hydraulic station inside the property. The simple answer is almost anywhere.
