Air Source Heat Pump Installation in Bedfordshire

We design, install, service and optimise air source heat pumps across Bedfordshire, including Bedford, Biggleswade, Sandy, Shefford, Ampthill, Flitwick and the surrounding villages.

Rather than choosing a heat pump based only on the size of the house, every installation is designed around the actual heat loss of the property, the existing heating system and the way the home is used.

Heat Pump Installation Designed Around Your Home

Bedfordshire has a wide mix of properties, from older cottages and traditional brick homes to newer developments with modern insulation. Because every home is different, every heat pump system should be designed specifically for that property.

Before recommending a system we assess:

• Room-by-room heat loss calculations
• The correct heat pump size
• Existing radiators and pipework
• Hot water requirements
• Flow temperature and system efficiency
• The best location for the outdoor unit and cylinder

Will a Heat Pump Work in My Home?

Many people assume heat pumps only work in new-build homes, but that’s simply not true. Many older Bedfordshire properties are excellent candidates once they’ve been properly surveyed.

Sometimes radiator upgrades are recommended, while other homes require very little alteration. A survey allows us to recommend exactly what your property needs—no more, no less.

How Much Does a Heat Pump Cost?

Every installation is different, so costs vary depending on the size of the property, the heat pump selected and whether any upgrades are required to the existing heating system.

Thanks to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, eligible homeowners can benefit from a substantial government grant towards the installation.

Heat Pump Running Costs

Running costs depend on far more than the efficiency rating of the unit. A well-designed system operating at lower flow temperatures is usually cheaper to run and provides more consistent heating throughout the home.
