How it works
Heat Pumps: A Low-Carbon Alternative to Fossil Fuel Heating
Heat pumps provide a low-carbon alternative to traditional fossil fuel heating.
They extract heat from the outside air (air source heat pumps) or the ground (ground source heat pumps) and convert it into warm air for your home.
Thanks to highly efficient refrigerants that absorb heat effectively, heat pumps can achieve 300% to 400% efficiencycompared to conventional systems.
This high efficiency delivers significant cost savings on your energy bills while reducing your carbon footprint.

Our process
Consult
We start with an initial phone call followed by an on-site consultation. This lets us assess your current heating system and design a heat pump solution tailored to your needs. Our appointments and quotations are completely free. They help you make informed decisions about upgrading your heating system. Contact us today to book your free heat pump consultation.
Design
When you choose to switch to a heat pump, we complete all heat loss calculations to size your system accurately. Next, we design your heat pump and hot water system for maximum efficiency. If you qualify, we also apply for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to help reduce your installation costs. Let us manage the technical details so your switch to renewable heating is smooth and hassle-free.
Install
We usually complete heat pump installations within 3 to 5 days. The timeline depends on the work involved, such as radiator upgrades or new power supplies. Most installations happen within 6 to 8 weeks after you place your order. We work hard to ensure you’re not without heating or hot water during the process. However, brief interruptions may sometimes occur.
Handover
After commissioning your heat pump, we provide a full system handover. We explain how your system works and give you a handover pack with certificates and system details. We also offer annual servicing packages to keep your heat pump running efficiently. Our team provides ongoing maintenance and support to ensure your system delivers reliable performance year-round.
Heat pump myths
Debunking Common Heat Pump Myths: Why Heat Pumps Work
As a leading alternative to fossil fuel boilers, heat pumps have often faced unfair criticism. In fact, many articles and websites focus on their supposed failings. However, we’re here to explain why these claims are misleading and, more importantly, how heat pumps deliver exceptional performance.
Heat pumps are rapidly gaining popularity for heating and cooling homes and buildings. Furthermore, they offer significant energy savings and reduce carbon emissions.
That said, like any new technology, heat pumps come with common misconceptions and myths. Therefore, understanding the facts is essential before making your decision.
Moreover, as technology advances, heat pumps continue to improve in efficiency and reliability.
Ultimately, switching to a heat pump provides a clean, cost-effective heating solution for your home or business.
Heat pumps only work in warm climates
Heat pumps are built to perform in all climates, including cold regions. While they run most efficiently in mild weather, modern heat pump systems use advanced technology to stay efficient even in freezing temperatures. They extract heat from the outdoor air and transfer it indoors—providing reliable heating even when it’s cold outside. In fact, over 85% of homes in Scandinavia use heat pumps for both residential and commercial heating. If they work in Norway, they’ll work in the UK too.
Heat pumps are noisy
Modern heat pumps are much quieter than older models. Manufacturers have improved noise reduction by using quieter compressors and adding sound-dampening technology. With professional installation and regular maintenance, air-to-water heat pumps operate quietly and won’t disturb your home or neighbours. If noise is a concern, ask us about the quietest heat pump models available today.
Heat pumps are inefficient.
Heat pumps are among the most energy-efficient heating systems available. They generate multiple units of heat for every unit of electricity used. This high efficiency helps lower energy bills and reduce carbon emissions. The Coefficient of Performance (COP) measures a heat pump’s efficiency. Modern air-to-water heat pumps often achieve COP values above 3. That means they produce three times more heat energy than the electricity they consume. If you’re looking for a cost-effective and sustainable heating solution, a heat pump offers unbeatable efficiency.
Heat pumps require frequent maintenance.
Like any heating system, heat pumps need regular maintenance to keep running efficiently. The good news? Heat pump maintenance is simple and low-cost. Routine servicing includes: • Cleaning or replacing filters • Checking refrigerant levels • Inspecting electrical connections With professional installation and regular heat pump servicing, your system can deliver reliable heating and cooling for many years. Looking for a low-maintenance, energy-efficient solution? A heat pump is built to last.
Heat pumps are not suitable for older buildings.
You can retrofit heat pumps into older homes and buildings, making them a smart choice for both new builds and renovation projects. While some properties may need upgrades—such as improved insulation or modern radiators—most heat pumps can be integrated into existing heating systems. With the right design and planning, retrofitting a heat pump delivers efficient, low-carbon heating in older properties. Looking to upgrade your heating system? Heat pumps are a future-ready solution for nearly any home.
Heat pumps are expensive to install.
Thanks to incentives like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, the cost to replace your boiler with a heat pump is now more comparable than ever. We encourage customers to see this not as a like-for-like swap, but as a full heating system upgrade. Our heat pump installations include: • Upgraded power supplies • New radiators (if required) • A heat pump-compatible hot water cylinder • Buffer vessels to improve system efficiency and longevity These upgrades help future-proof your home and maximise the performance and lifespan of your heat pump. As heat pump technology continues to improve and adoption increases, costs are expected to drop further—making now a great time to invest in low-carbon heating. Discover how much you could save by switching today.
Boiler Upgrade Scheme
Boiler Upgrade Scheme: Heat Pump Grants Up to £7,500
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a government initiative launched in 2022 for homes and small businesses in England and Wales.
Its goal is to make heat pump installation more affordable and accelerate the UK’s shift to low-carbon heating. The scheme reduces upfront costs, helping heat pumps compete with traditional fossil fuel systems.
Eligible applicants can receive:
-
£7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump
-
£7,500 off the cost of a ground source heat pump
Boiler Upgrade Scheme Eligibility
To qualify for the BUS grant, you must meet the following criteria:
-
Your property is in England or Wales (Scotland has a separate scheme)
-
You have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) – find yours here
-
Your EPC shows no recommendations for cavity wall or loft insulation (some exemptions apply)
-
Self-build homes are eligible
-
Privately rented properties can also qualify
As an MCS-accredited installer, we handle the entire BUS application process on your behalf.
