How Heat Pump Technology Works

1

Extract Heat

Even in cold weather, air contains heat energy. The heat pump extracts it efficiently using refrigerant fluid.

2

Concentrate & Amplify

Refrigerant compresses and concentrates the heat to usable temperatures (50-65°C).

3

Deliver Warmth

Concentrated heat is distributed through your existing radiators or underfloor heating system.

4

Energy Efficiency

Uses 75% less energy than traditional gas boilers to produce the same heat output.

img Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, absolutely. Heat pumps work in all property types—old or new, detached or terraced. If you have a gas boiler, you can have a heat pump installed. We'll assess your property and give realistic savings figures for your specific home.

No. Heat pumps work perfectly with your existing radiators. Underfloor heating is optional and improves efficiency further, but most people get great results with standard radiators.

Modern air source heat pumps are very quiet—around 40-45dB (similar to a dishwasher). Most customers barely notice them.

Most installations take 2-3 days. We remove your old boiler, install the outdoor unit, connect it to your heating system, and integrate smart controls.

Heat pumps work efficiently even in very cold temperatures. A backup heating element kicks in automatically on rare occasions (costs pennies).

10 years manufacturer's parts warranty as standard. We include extended labour coverage and free servicing for the first 2 years.

Most homeowners qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (£7,500). Some also qualify for ECO4 (full funding for eligible households). We assess you for all available schemes.
