Heat Pump & Solar Installers in Yorkshire

An air source heat pump is a renewable heating system that draws warmth from the outside air to heat your home and provide hot water. The technology works even on cold days — extracting ambient heat from the air and transferring it efficiently into your property.

The system works by absorbing heat from the outside air into a refrigerant fluid, which is then compressed to raise its temperature further. That heat is passed into your home's central heating — whether you have radiators or underfloor heating — and can also be used to heat your hot water cylinder.

Yes, ASHPs are suitable for UK homes. They  operate efficiently even in temperatures as low as -15°C, making them a perfectly viable heating solution throughout the UK.

Heat pumps can work alongside your existing radiators in many cases, but because they run at lower flow temperatures than a traditional boiler, some homes benefit from upsized radiators or underfloor heating to maintain comfortable warmth throughout. As part of your survey, we'll assess what you have and let you know honestly whether any changes are needed.

The cost of an air source heat pump installation depends on a number of factors — the size of system your home needs, how straightforward the installation is, and whether any upgrades to your existing heating setup are required. Things like your property's insulation, its layout, and whether you qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme will all affect the final figure. The best way to get an accurate picture is through a free survey, where we can assess your home properly and give you a clear, no-obligation quote.

The UK government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides a grant of up to £7,500 towards the cost of a heat pump installation. If your current heating runs on oil or LPG, that figure increases to £9,000 from July 2026 — making now a particularly good time to consider making the switch. You can find out how the grant works here.

How much you save depends on what you're replacing and how your home is set up. Switching from oil or LPG typically delivers the strongest financial benefit, while insulation levels, your electricity tariff and how well the system is maintained all play a part too. Pairing your heat pump with solar panels and a battery storage system can reduce your bills further still — using free generated electricity to run your heat pump during the day and drawing on stored power when you need it. Rather than quoting figures that may not reflect your situation, we'd rather give you an honest estimate based on your actual property — which is exactly what our free survey is for.

As with a boiler, we recommend having your heat pump serviced once a year by a qualified engineer. It keeps the system running efficiently, helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, and protects the lifespan of your investment.

Modern heat pumps are designed to run quietly, and when installed correctly the noise level is minimal — generally no more noticeable than a traditional boiler, and often quieter.

Some ASHP models (air to air) can provide both heating and cooling, offering a versatile climate control solution for your home. Although these currently only qualify for a reduced government grant.

With proper maintenance, a heat pump can last about 20 - 25 years, making it a long-term investment for your home.

In most cases, installing a heat pump is considered permitted development and doesn't require planning permission. However, you should check with your local planning authority if you believe you live in a listed building or conservation area.

Yes, heat pumps can be integrated with existing heating systems in a hybrid setup, allowing both systems to work together efficiently. However this will disqualify you from a government grant.

Heat pumps are very environmentally friendly as they use renewable energy from the air and produce lower carbon emissions compared to traditional heating systems.

Yes, conducting a survey is a crucial step before installing a heat pump. This assessment ensures that the chosen system aligns with your property's specific requirements and operates efficiently. It also establishes if your propery qualifies for the £7500 government grant (£9000 for oil or LPG system replacements). 

What Happens During a Survey?

When one of our engineers visits your property, here's what they'll cover:

Your Heating & Hot Water Requirements — We look at your current setup and work out the right size of heat pump for your home, based on actual demand rather than guesswork.

Insulation — We check wall, roof and floor insulation levels, as these have a direct bearing on how efficiently a heat pump will perform in your property.

Existing Heating Infrastructure — We assess your radiators or underfloor heating to see whether they're compatible as they are, or whether any upgrades would be worthwhile.

Unit Placement — We identify the best position for the outdoor unit, taking into account airflow, aesthetics and any potential noise considerations for you and your neighbours.

Installation Logistics — We walk you through the process, give you a realistic timeline, and flag anything you'd need to be aware of or prepare for in advance.

The survey typically takes one to two hours depending on the size and layout of your property. At the end of it you'll have a clear picture of what's involved, what it will cost, and what funding you're entitled to.
