We will give you a clear schedule during your initial consultation so you know exactly what to expect.

Not necessarily. Many existing radiators work perfectly well with heat pumps. However, because heat pumps run at a lower flow temperature than gas boilers to maximise efficiency, some radiators may need to be upgraded to larger surface area models to provide the same level of warmth. Our technical survey will identify exactly which, if any, radiators need replacing.

Modern air source heat pumps are surprisingly quiet. Most units operate at a noise level similar to a domestic fridge or a quiet conversation (around 40-60 decibels). Unless you are standing right next to the outdoor fan, you are unlikely to notice it running.

To ensure your warranty remains valid and the system runs efficiently, an annual service is highly recommended. This involves checking the refrigerant levels, cleaning the filters and fans, and ensuring the electronics are working correctly. We offer comprehensive maintenance packages to take care of this for you year after year.

A standard installation typically takes between 2 to 5 days, depending on the complexity of your property and whether new radiators or a hot water cylinder are required. We will provide a more accurate timeframe after we have surveyed your property.
