Air source heat pumps in Peterborough

Designed from a proper heat loss calculation, installed by our own engineers and commissioned to run efficiently — for homes and commercial buildings.

Our approach

Three stages, no guesswork

The difference between a heat pump people love and one they resent is almost always design. We spend the time up front so the system runs quietly, cheaply and warmly.

1. Heat loss survey

We measure the property and calculate heat loss room by room — fabric, glazing, ventilation — so the system is sized to the building rather than to the old boiler's output.

  • Room-by-room calculations
  • Fabric & glazing review
  • Honest advice on prerequisites

2. System design

Pump selection, emitter and underfloor sizing, cylinder capacity, buffer strategy and controls, all designed around a low flow temperature for real-world efficiency.

  • Low flow temperature design
  • Radiator schedule
  • Cylinder & controls specification

3. Installation & commissioning

A tidy install by our own engineers, commissioned and balanced properly, then handed over with training so you know exactly how to run it through a Fenland winter.

  • Neat pipework & external siting
  • Balancing & commissioning data
  • Handover & aftercare

Also available

Beyond the heat pump

  • Radiator upgrades and underfloor heating
  • Hot water cylinder replacement
  • Smart heating controls and zoning
  • Air conditioning and comfort cooling
  • MVHR and ventilation
  • Annual servicing and F-Gas compliance

FAQs

Heat pump questions from local homeowners

Is my Peterborough home suitable for a heat pump?

Most are, including Victorian terraces and 1930s semis — provided emitters are sized for lower flow temperatures and obvious heat losses are addressed. Our survey tells you honestly what the property needs before you spend anything.

Do heat pumps work in winter?

Yes. Air source units extract heat from outside air well below freezing; UK winter design temperatures are built into the calculation. Efficiency falls on the coldest days, which is exactly why correct sizing matters.

How noisy are they?

A modern unit at a sensible distance is typically comparable to a fridge from a few metres away. We site units to protect both your amenity and your neighbour's, allowing for permitted development conditions.

What about grants?

Government support for heat pumps in England is available via the Boiler Upgrade Scheme through an accredited installer, subject to eligibility and current scheme rules. We confirm what applies to your property at survey stage.

Which areas do you install in?

Peterborough, Stamford, Bourne, Market Deeping, Oundle, Oakham, Spalding, Huntingdon, St Neots, Cambridge, Kettering, Corby, Grantham and elsewhere within 50 miles.
