Frequently asked questions

The short answer is yes. Although if you have an older, draughty home you might want to put in a little extra effort to make it more energy-efficient first. Otherwise it won’t be as cost-effective. Heat pumps work like a dream in well-sealed, ultra-energy-efficient homes that retain their heat for a long time.

We’d always recommend insulating your home properly before considering a heat pump. Think about things like walls, your loft, and windows and doors. That way, when you make the switch to a heat pump you know your home will be keeping all that lovely heat inside.

Once a year you need to give certain parts of your heat pump a quick check over yourself – but the engineer who installs it will show you what to do. You’ll also find the info you need in the booklet you get with it.

It can also be a good idea to get an expert to check it once a year – some manufacturers will require a yearly full service to comply with manufacturers’ warranties. This service could cost between £170 to £200 a visit.

With all this talk of “absorbing heat from the ground or air” you might be wondering how heat pumps cope in cold weather. The good news is that heat pumps can still work in very cold conditions – it’s just important to do your research and buy the right one.

Heat pumps are used all over the world in much colder climates than the UK (think the USA and Canada). And some models operate in temperatures as low as -20℃ (like one from Mitsubishi).

Heat pumps are around 4 times more efficient than gas boilers.3 Heat pump efficiency is measured using Coefficient of Performance (CoP). This is calculated by comparing the amount of input to the amount of output. For example, if an air source heat pump uses one kW of electricity to produce 3 kW of heat, the CoP is 3. The higher the CoP, the better, as it shows your heat pump is more efficient.

We’re not offering gas meter removals as part of installations, but we can arrange for your meter to be removed. Gas meter removal will cost £106.

Once removed, you’ll no longer have access to gas or pay a standing charge for your gas meter. If you leave your gas meter connected, you’ll continue to pay your gas standing charge.

If you’d like to arrange for your gas meter to be disconnected, please email us at [email protected]. Or email us on [email protected].
