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.

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.

Don't Ignore These Signs

Book a check if you notice any of these. Most problems are quicker and cheaper to fix when they are caught early.

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.

Heat Pump Installation Options

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

Air Source Heat Pumps

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.

Grants & Funding

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

Not Sure Yet?

Book a free, no-obligation survey and we’ll give you an honest recommendation either way.

Boiler Installation

If a heat pump isn’t right for your home, a new efficient gas boiler may be the better option.

Boiler Repair

Not ready to switch yet? We still repair and maintain existing gas boilers as usual.

Radiator Installation

Heat pumps often run better with larger radiators sized for lower flow temperatures.

Central Heating

A wider system upgrade alongside a heat pump can improve efficiency across the whole home.

Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating pairs particularly well with the lower running temperatures of a heat pump.

Clearing sludge from an older system first helps a new heat pump run at its best.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sharif bhai did a very good job in my property. He fitted the shower properly and fixed the leak issue. He checked everything carefully and made sure there was no more leaking after the work finished.
He was polite, professional, and helpful. The work was neat and clean, and the shower is now working very well.
I am happy with his service and I would recommend Sharif bhai to others for plumbing work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had my boiler serviced by Heatgap( 99 Byron Road,Luton) and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The Technician arrived on time, was professional, and explained everything clearly. The service was thorough, and they made sure the boiler was running safely and efficiently before leaving.
What really stood out was their friendly attitude and attention to detail. They took the time to answer my questions and gave helpful advice on maintaining the boiler.
Overall, excellent service from start to finish. I would definitely recommend Heatgap to anyone looking for reliable and professional boiler servicing.
