FAQ's
FAQ'sWhich Heat Pump is the most efficient? To answer this question you have to ask yourself about your house and your lifestyle, how large is your house? is it detached, semi detached or terraced? To give you a rough example a Terraced 3 bedroomed house with 200mm of loft insulation and double glazed windows and an insulated hot water tank will need a 12kw Heat Pump to provide ample heat and Hot water during the cold UK Winters while a Detached 4 - 8 Bedroomed house with 200mm of loft insulation, insulated cavity walls, double glazing and an insulated hot water tank will need our 17kw Heat Pump to provide ample heat and hot water during the cold GB winter.
Are Heat Pumps Suitable for old Houses? To give you a small example of what you can acheive take a 5/6 Bed Detached Dormer in Mayo ( 2004 build ) that was costing £3,000 per year to heat with an Oil Boiler and a Stove with a Back Boiler, now that same house is warmer than ever with a 17kw Air Source Heat Pump.

Real Life Example on how the Heat Pump industry works. In February 2018 we decided to stop using oil and coal to heat our house and business premises, we looked at all the options and settled on an Air Source Heat Pump, however with very little information readily available and what quotes we did get in where through the roof circa £65,000 for a whole new heating system and a branded Air Source Heat Pump.
So I said F**K that and I set about designing an Air Source Heat Pump that could utilize all of my existing radiators and my existing hot water tank. At first everyone I contacted said it could not be done but I persevered and after 8 months of design work I settled on what we have now, a 17kw Air to water Heat Pump which runs on R407C, can reach a top temperature of 65C but that temperature you will never need, on tests over the last 4 winters I had to reduce the output water temperature to my Radiators from 55C to 50C after one month as the house was just too warm and dry. By March I again had to drop the output water temperature to 45C as the house was now returning even more heat to all of our rooms.
Apart from the money saving costs over the money I was spending buying Oil and Coal my CO2 emissions have reduced drastically and my house has jumped from a B2 to an A2 rating.
