Air source heat pumps Lincolnshire
Design and installation of air source heat pumps. We also install ground source heat pumps and water source heat pumps.
Retrofit installations and new systems.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) provides homeowners, landlords and small business owners with a £7,500 grant
towards the installation of a heat pump to replace an existing heating system using fossil fuels - subject to qualifying criteria.

How do heat pumps work?
A heat pump pumps heat from one place to another. It uses a refrigerant to extract heat from either the air, ground or water (the source) and then pumps the heat into your property. The benefit is that heat pumps output more heat than they use to operate.
Do heat pumps work as well as conventional boilers?
Absolutely, in fact they work better than boilers, as long as the system is correctly designed and installed, including making sure the radiators and pipework are appropriate. When we visit you to assess the suitability for a heat pump and put together our quote, we check all aspects of your property, insulation and existing heating system in order to recommend the best solution for your home or business premises.
Are heat pumps suitable for older properties?
Heat pumps work really well in old houses, as long as the system is designed and installed correctly. We recently installed an air source heat pump into a 5-bedroomed property in Tuxford, Nottinghamshire, the main part of which dates back to the 17th century!
Are air source heat pumps noisy?
The latest air source heat pumps are really quiet, especially if you choose a model such as the Samsung EHS Mono HT Quiet R32, which has great performance stats and looks really smart!
How do you measure the performance of heat pumps?
Performance is measured as the "Coefficient of Performance" (CoP) and "Seasonal Coefficient of Performance" (SCoP). The CoP is the instantaneous efficiency and the SCoP is the CoP averaged out over a year (so the SCoP is the most relevant to determining how a system will perform). A heat pump with a SCoP of 4 provides 4kW of heat for 1kW of energy used. The SCoP is a key factor in determining how much the heat pump will cost to run. The higher the SCoP at a specific flow temperature, the more energy the heat pump delivers for a given amount of energy in and so the less it costs to run.
When someone states that a heat pump has an efficiency of 350%, what they really mean is that for every kW of electricity put into the heat pump, the heat pump delivers 3.5kW of usable heat.
Are heat pumps cost effective?
Very much so. There is currently a £7,500 grant available with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, making the installation cost very affordable. The cost to run a heat pump obviously depends on the heat pump and the setup, but if you combine a latest generation heat pump with an innovative energy tariff such as Cosy Octopus, heat pumps are cheaper to run than gas or oil boilers.
