How Heat Pumps Work
Air source heat pumps are an efficient and low-carbon way to heat your home using electricity. Even on the UK grid their carbon emissions are significantly lower than gas, and this improves further with renewable electricity.
An air source heat pump is installed outside your house and needs good airflow. It works by extracting heat from the air and transferring it indoors. The heat ultimately comes from the sun, so the unit moves heat rather than creating it. Electricity is used to run the fan, compressor and circulation pump.
Get in touch for an initial chat to see whether a heat pump is a good fit for your home. We begin with suitability, looking at your existing system, radiators, insulation and hot water setup. If it makes sense to proceed, we guide you towards the right type of system and introduce you to a trusted local installer.
Our Approach
Where Projects Succeed or Fail
Heat pumps are generally reliable. The critical part is the design of the system they connect to, how it is commissioned and how it is controlled. That is where projects succeed or fail.
Our focus is on robust design and intelligent control. The aim is reasonable running costs, reliable hot water, consistent room temperatures and a comfortable home.
We design systems to be as simple as possible but not simpler. That often means avoiding unnecessary components that add cost and complexity. Fewer parts means lower labour costs and fewer things to go wrong.
How We Work
From First Chat to Finished System
1
Initial Conversation
We start with a conversation to assess suitability. If a heat pump looks right, we help define the approach and introduce you to a carefully selected local installer.
2
You Contract with the Installer
Your contract is with the installer, not with us. This keeps things straightforward and ensures accountability is clear.
3
Behind the Scenes Support
We remain involved behind the scenes, liaising between you and the installer to ensure the design intent is maintained.
4
Complex Systems Support
For larger or more complex systems we can also provide detailed calculations and consultancy at the outset to avoid costly mistakes.
Our Three Specialisms
What We Do Best
🎯
Adia – the Autopilot
Adia heat pump controller
Adia is ideal for single circuit radiator systems. It replaces multiple components, streamlines installation and automates balancing and temperature control. It simplifies commissioning and provides a clear control app for homeowners.
For installers it reduces complexity. For homeowners it delivers stable temperatures and efficient operation with minimal adjustment.
🏠
Optimised Systems
Heat loss report
These systems are built around careful heat loss calculations and appropriate radiator sizing. The goal is comfort and efficiency without unnecessary complexity.
When properly designed and commissioned, they deliver strong seasonal performance and steady indoor temperatures.
⚡
Hybrid & Smart Grid
Hybrid heating system schematic
We specialise in systems that combine multiple heat sources, such as a heat pump with a boiler stove or solar. Many include thermal stores and smart controls.
Some can take advantage of smart tariffs by raising the thermal store temperature when electricity is cheap, effectively storing energy as heat. These projects benefit from careful integration and early stage consultancy.
Design Options
How We Can Help
1
Initial Overview
We discuss your home and objectives, provide outline guidance and, if appropriate, introduce a suitable local installer. We remain available as a technical contact throughout.
2
Detailed Design and Consultancy
For a fee we carry out room by room heat loss calculations and develop a detailed specification. The installer reviews and refines this after their site visit, allowing deeper collaboration from the outset.
You do not commit to anything with us. Once the installer has surveyed your property and provided a quotation, any decision is between you and them.
