Heat pumps are one of the most innovative heating solutions on the market. It offers a way to reduce your energy bills while cutting your carbon footprint, helping your home run efficiently and affordably.
Making the switch to this renewable energy heating system isn’t complicated; we’ll walk you through the process so you can decide if it’s the right upgrade for you.
The Expert Assessment
Before installing your air source heat pump, you will need an expert to assess how and where to install your home’s air source heating. At Humphrey & Crockett, we provide complete heating assessments to relieve stress as reputable UK heat pump installers.
Our experts have experience with various homes, layouts and challenges, so they can make an accurate assessment to ensure the process is tailored to your home’s needs.
They will ask about your heating demands, efficiency concerns and your home’s general insulation to ensure you get the most out of your new air-source heating system.
Selecting the Correct Position
Air source heat pump installations don’t need to be complex. Our experts will consider your preferences and the installation requirements. Generally, air source heat pumps are placed externally at the side of the home, in the driveway or garden. The floor should be level and able to withstand the load. Ventilation is also another key factor for the pump to function.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme
One of the incentives for investing in an air-source heat pump is a government-backed programme called the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), which provides grants to help cover the cost of the pump and installation. We can help you with the paperwork so you can receive financial support.
Installing Your Air Source Heat Pump
When all of the paperwork and assessments are complete, it’s time for the installation to begin.
The unit will be placed in its designated position, ensuring proper ventilation. After this, it will be connected to your radiators or underfloor heating system. The experts will put the hot water cylinder in an appropriate place inside your home, connecting it to your plumbing. They will also correctly connect the pump to your home’s electrical system. Once everything is set up, the installers will double-check everything is in working order including the thermostat.
If you have an existing gas boiler, that will also need to be safely removed and carefully disposed of, as you won’t be needing it any longer.

It’s wise to keep on top of regular maintenance to ensure your pump is efficient and running properly. At Humphrey & Crockett, we offer ongoing maintenance and remote servicing services with Homely.
