What do you need from an air-source heat pump?

Symptoms
01 — Common problems

What's worth knowing about air-source heat pumps.

What people usually ask before taking the step, and what happens when a unit that's already installed doesn't perform well.

Is it worth it in my home?

It depends on the insulation, the type of heat emitters (radiators, underfloor heating or fan coils) and how much heating and hot water you use.

In the meantime · Keep a couple of winter gas or electricity bills to hand; they help work out the savings.

I want to replace my gas boiler

The existing installation can often be reused, but you need to check whether the radiators can work at a lower temperature.

In the meantime · Take photos of your current boiler, of a radiator and of the outdoor space available.

It doesn't heat properly

It's usually badly adjusted temperature settings, a unit that's too small for the home, or low flow in the system.

In the meantime · Note the temperature it's set to and which rooms feel cold.

The outdoor unit is noisy

Noises usually come from brackets that aren't sitting properly, or from a spot where the sound bounces off nearby walls.

In the meantime · Record a short video of the noise; it helps tell whether it's normal or not.

It uses more than expected

Poor programming, the electric backup running more than it should, or very high flow temperatures make consumption shoot up.

In the meantime · If your unit has an app or a display showing consumption, take screenshots of the last few weeks.

Combining it with solar panels

A heat pump runs on electricity, so it goes well with generating your own power: your roof can produce part of what it uses.

In the meantime · If you already have panels, note the installed capacity shown in the paperwork.

04 — Questions

Questions about air-source heat pumps.

Q.01

Do air-source heat pumps work with radiators?

Often, yes, but it depends on the size of the radiators and how well the home is insulated. The installer checks this at the visit.

Q.02

Are there grants or subsidies?

Yes, from time to time. They depend on the grants each regional government opens at any given moment.

Q.03

How much space does it need?

You need room for the outdoor unit and, usually, for a hot water tank inside your home. It depends on the unit.

Q.04

How much does an installation cost?

It depends on the installation and on your preferences: output, type of unit and what needs adapting. We give you a written quote after the visit.
