Is a Heat Pump Right for Your Home?

A heat pump can cut running costs and carbon emissions, but it isn’t the right fit for every property. It works best in a well-insulated home with space for an outdoor unit, and often pairs well with larger radiators or underfloor heating.

We start with an honest survey of your insulation, radiators and outdoor space before recommending anything, rather than quoting a heat pump for a home that isn’t ready for one. If underfloor heating or bigger radiators would help first, we’ll say so.

Heat Pump Installation Guide

Is It Time to Consider a Heat Pump?

If your gas boiler is approaching the end of its life, or you’re planning ahead for rising gas prices, a heat pump is worth exploring now rather than at the point of a breakdown, since it needs proper planning around insulation and radiator sizing.

It’s not always the right call for older, less insulated homes. We’ll give you a straight answer during the survey, including whether a new gas boiler would suit your home better for now.

COMMON WARNING SIGNS

Don't Ignore These Signs

The same careful workmanship, whether it’s a family home in St Albans or a busy premises in Hertfordshire.

Frequent Breakdowns

Constant repairs could mean it's time to replace your boiler.

Higher Energy Bills

Older boilers are often less efficient and more expensive to run.

Uneven Heating

Cold radiators or inconsistent temperatures may indicate your boiler is struggling.

Strange Noises

Banging, whistling or gurgling sounds shouldn't be ignored.

Water Leaks

Leaks around your boiler can lead to further damage if left untreated.

Old Boiler

If your boiler is over 10–15 years old, replacing it may be more cost-effective than repairing it.

OUR BOILER SOLUTIONS

Heat Pump Installation Options

What to expect from the survey, installation and ongoing running of an air source heat pump.

The most common option for UK homes, drawing heat from outside air even in cold weather.

Hot Water Cylinder Setup

Heat pumps run alongside a hot water cylinder, sized to match your household’s daily usage.

Radiator Upgrades

Heat pumps run at lower temperatures than gas boilers, so larger radiators are often needed.

Insulation & Suitability Check

We assess your insulation and heat loss before recommending a heat pump, not after.

You may be eligible for government funding towards the cost. We’ll check and explain what applies to you.

Common Questions

It depends on your insulation, radiator sizing and available outdoor space. We assess all three during a free survey and give you an honest answer either way.

It varies depending on the property and any radiator or cylinder upgrades needed, so we quote after the survey rather than guessing over the phone.

Often, yes. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures than gas boilers, so larger radiators are usually needed to keep the home comfortable.

You may be eligible for government funding towards the installation cost. We’ll check your eligibility and explain what applies during the survey.

Typically 2-3 days, covering the outdoor unit, hot water cylinder, controls and any radiator changes.

Modern air source heat pumps run quietly, comparable to a fridge or air conditioning unit, and we position the outdoor unit to minimise any noise indoors.
