What we do
What an air source heat pump does
An air source heat pump sits outside, usually at the side or back of the house. It takes heat from the outside air and moves it into your heating and hot water, using a little electricity to do it.
Because a heat pump runs at a lower water temperature than a boiler, the design matters. We size the heat pump, the hot water cylinder and every radiator or underfloor loop to the heat each room needs.
What's included
- Air source heat pump design and installation
- Full system specification and commissioning
- Integration with underfloor heating and radiators
- Homes, new builds and commercial properties
How it works
How a heat pump installation works
Every system starts with the numbers, so it is the right size for your home before anything is fitted.
Step 1
Heat loss survey
We measure up and carry out a full house heat loss calculation, room by room.
Step 2
System design
We specify the heat pump, the hot water cylinder and the emitters: underfloor heating, radiators or both.
Step 3
Installation
We fit the outdoor unit, cylinder, pipework and controls, and keep you updated at every stage.
Step 4
Commissioning
We commission and test the whole system before we hand it over to you.

Is it right for my home?
Is a heat pump right for your home?
Heat pumps suit homes large or small, rural or urban. Four things decide how well one will work. Tell us what you know and we'll take it from there.
Insulation
Is the house well insulated?
A heat pump works best in a home that holds its heat. Filled cavity walls, a well-insulated loft and double or triple glazing all help, and are worth doing first.
Outside space
Is there space outside?
The unit stands outside on an exterior wall, with room around it for air to flow and for us to reach it for servicing. It doesn't need the big garden a ground source system does.
Radiators or underfloor
Underfloor heating or larger radiators?
Heat pumps run most efficiently at low water temperatures, which is why they pair so well with underfloor heating. Larger radiators work too, and upgrading them is often part of the installation.
Hot water cylinder
Is there room for a cylinder?
Unlike a combi boiler, a heat pump doesn't heat water on demand. Hot water is stored in a cylinder until you need it, so you'll need a cupboard or space to fit one.
Types of heat pump
Air-to-water and air-to-air
There are two main types of air source heat pump, and they do different jobs.
01 / 02
Air-to-water heat pumps
These take heat from the outside air and pass it into a wet central heating system: radiators, underfloor heating or both. They also heat the water in your hot water cylinder, so one system covers the whole house.
- Runs radiators and underfloor heating
- Heats your hot water cylinder
- Replaces a gas or oil boiler
Why a heat pump
Why homeowners choose one
Low-carbon heating
No gas or oil is burned at home. Pair it with solar panels and more of the electricity it uses comes from your own roof.
Warm through the winter
Heat pumps keep working on cold days. The heat loss calculation sizes your system for the coldest weather.
Little maintenance
There's very little to look after. We recommend a service once a year to keep it running safely.
Heating, and cooling on some models
Depending on the model, a heat pump can provide cooling in summer as well as heating in winter.

Gas / Heating engineer
This company was preferred to an alternative larger one because he was prepared to listen to what exactly would suit my needs. We discussed other optional extras and he came e up with good solutions. Although we had no heating during an exceptionally cold spell, Dan was kind enough to offer the use of some free standing heaters that he had. After service was excellent and he has always told us to contact him if we have any queries and he is happy to come round.
- New heating system
Plumber
Dan was excellent and installed our new system promptly. Dan finished the job within the specified timescale and also gave good advice on other improvements. We'll have no hesitation using Dan again or recommending him to a friend. Also, very competitive price.
Questions
Common questions
Most homes can have one. It works best in a well-insulated property, with space on an outside wall for the unit and room inside for a hot water cylinder. A heat loss survey tells us what your home needs.
No. Heat pumps run most efficiently at low water temperatures, which is why they pair so well with underfloor heating, but we also design systems around radiators, often larger ones, or a mix of both.
Yes. They keep extracting heat from the air on cold days, and the heat loss calculation sizes your system for the coldest weather.
Because the right size depends on how much heat each room loses. Measuring that room by room means the heat pump, cylinder and emitters are matched to your home before anything is fitted.
Yes. We design and install heat pumps for homes, new builds and commercial properties, and work with architects, developers and builders from early design.
