Heat Pumps Installing
While not ideal in all homes or climates, heat pump installation may steeply cut your heating and cooling costs.
Heat pumps are highly efficient for cooling and warming spaces. Essentially, a heat pump is an AC with a reversing valve and two bypass valves that allow the unit to provide both AC and Heat.
The unit works by forcing hot air away from areas you wish to cool and into areas you want to warm.

Heat Pump - How do they work?
A heat pump is a device that controls your home’s climate by distributing the heat that is already available in the air. In the winter, it transfers heat from the outside environment to inside your home, providing warmth and comfort. In the summer, depending on your system design, the heat pump extracts the heat inside your home and moves it outside. A heat pump is a smart and clean way to heat, cool, purify, and dehumidify your home.
Heat pumps are part of a group of technologies that include HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning). These devices transfer heat and warmth from one place to another.
The heat pump is configured in a way that you can control the levels of warmth around your home. This process can work in reverse whereby a heat pump can heat or cool the house as desired.
Your heat pump should be serviced annually to ensure optimal performance and extend its lifetime.
Advantages of installing a heat pump
Heat pumps are cheaper than direct electric heaters, oil boilers and natural gas with the lowest running costs on the market. They are incredibly efficient and this brings greater long-term energy savings. Despite the fact that the initial cost of a groundwater heat pump can be high, this environment-friendly investment can help you save up in the long run.
Heat pumps produce no on-site carbon emissions, unlike conventional boiler-based heaters. When paired with renewable energy sources like solar PV panels, heat pumps are completely emissions-free. This means that heat pumps are effective in reducing your home’s carbon footprint.
Heat pumps can have a long life span of up to 50 years and the average lifespan is about 14 to 15 years. Heat pumps are exceptionally reliable and steady and are also safer than combustion-based heating systems.
Installing a heat pump can take your home to a new level of comfort, providing you with consistent heating and, depending on the design, cooling.
Heat pumps increase your property value. A well-designed heat pump system installed within a smart home and maintained by a trusted, professional home energy specialist will increase the sale value of your home and other properties.
Other advantages include; they serve both heating and cooling functions, saves space because they don’t require fuel storage, requires no planning permission, and they are silent and unobtrusive.
The Benefits of Professional Heat Pump Installation
Heat pumps are exceptional pieces of technology, but if you think you can install your heat pump on your own then you’re gravely mistaken. These units are complex and use lines of refrigerant and other components that need to be sized accordingly and installed with the steady hand of a professional. That’s why we’d like to talk more in detail about what kinds of benefits you can expect from heat pump installation that’s performed by a professional technician.
Professional heat pump installation isn’t just for peace of mind, it can also help you avoid expensive repairs down the road. In some bad cases, a poor amateur heat pump installation could lead to the need for a replacement in only a couple of years.
Let’s work on mitigating these problems and avoiding some of them altogether with professional installation services.
