  • Full heat loss calculation on every property. No guessing, no oversizing.
  • Weather compensation set up from day one. This is what makes the efficiency numbers real.
  • 10+ years experience. MCS accredited, Gas Safe registered, Trustpilot rated 4.7.

Got Questions?

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about heat pump installation.

How long does installation take?
Most installations take 1-2 days. This includes fitting the outdoor unit, hot water cylinder, any pipework, and commissioning. We give you an exact timeline after the survey.
Do I need to change my radiators?
Most existing radiators work fine. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so some may need upsizing. We check every radiator during the survey and only recommend changes where necessary.
What does installation include?
The outdoor unit, hot water cylinder, all pipework, electrical connections, commissioning with weather compensation, and a full handover. We also handle the £7,500 BUS grant application.
Do you subcontract the installation?
No. Our own in-house engineers do every installation. No subcontractors.
What brands do you install?
Vaillant, Grant, Bosch, Samsung, Mitsubishi, LG, and Panasonic. We recommend the best unit for your property, not the one with the biggest margin.
Do I need planning permission?
Usually not. Air source heat pumps fall under permitted development in England. Listed buildings and conservation areas may have restrictions. We check during the survey.
