Welcolme to the Ultimate Heat Pump Guide
We understand that there is a lot of advice about renewable energy and heat pumps, however, we also realise that you don't get all the information you need when deciding, firstly if a heat pump is suitable for your home, and then what happens when it is!
This is why we have created the Ultimate Heat Pump Guide to help you make the right decision for YOU.
We are also available to discuss your ideas without any obligation - we want everyone to have the right heating solution for their home.
Is Your Home Eligible?
If you're a homeowner in England or Wales looking to replace your old fossil fuel boiler, you might be eligible for the BUS!
Remember, the scheme is designed to support the transition to cleaner heating, so your current system needs to be on its way out.
Are you considering an air source heat pump to heat your home?
Heat pumps are a fantastic way to reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and lower your carbon footprint, but proper design and installation are crucial for optimal efficiency.

The MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) sets standards for renewable energy systems in the UK, ensuring efficient heat pump operation.
Here's a breakdown of some key MCS principles:
System Sizing and Efficiency
- Accurate Heat Loss Calculations: A well-sized heat pump system is key. MCS standards require calculating your building's heat loss to ensure the heat pump and emitters (like radiators or underfloor heating) are properly sized to meet your heating needs without wasting energy.
- Matching Heat Pump Capacity: An appropriately sized heat pump avoids overcapacity and inefficiency. MCS requires the heat pump to meet 100% of your heating demand at an outside temperature experienced for 99.6% of the year. This ensures the heat pump efficiently handles most situations.
