Frequently Asked Questions

Does a heat pump work in winter?
Yes, heat pumps work efficiently even in low temperatures β€” down to around -15Β°C. They extract heat from the air all year round. Heat pumps warm the home a bit more slowly than traditional boilers but provide stable, comfortable heating throughout the winter.
Can I have a heat pump in an old house?
Yes, but it's important that the house has reasonable insulation. In older homes, you might need to improve insulation or upgrade to larger radiators to get the best efficiency from the heat pump. We always recommend a free site survey to check this properly.
How long does installation take?
A typical heat pump installation takes 2 to 5 days, depending on the size of the property and the work involved. We always plan it individually and aim to complete the installation quickly and smoothly.
Do I need to change my radiators?
Not always. In many cases, existing radiators are perfectly fine. However, with some heat pump systems β€” especially in older homes β€” you may need to upgrade to larger or more efficient radiators to keep your rooms comfortably warm. We’ll assess this during your free quotation.
