Air Source Heat Pumps
What is Air Source Heating?
An Air Source Heat Pump is an external floor standing unit ranging from the size of a small fridge upwards, depending on the heat requirement or the property type.
A new house will require a lower output heat pump as the house is built to current building regulations and will therefore have very good insulation. An older, less insulated house will require a larger heat source. However, an older house that has good loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, double glazing etc will lie somewhere between the two.
As the unit runs for longer periods than a traditional boiler its output temperature is lower. A boiler might be timed to come on twice a day for a total of 7 hours. An Air Source Heat Pump may run for 18 hours a day but at a lower constant temperature.
This free heat is taken from the air, just as a fridge extracts the warmth from inside the fridge and vents it at the back of the fridge. An Air Source Heat Pump extracts the warmth from the air and transfers it to the water that goes through your radiators. As a result, the outdoor unit expels very cold air that has had the heat extracted from it.
We supply and install units that are a direct replacement for your boiler. They require minimal pipe work and no replacement of the hot water cylinder. All these solutions are well suited to new build homes and houses that have no mains gas and have relied on an oil boiler for their heating.
There is no problem too big or too small for us to tackle, so contact us today or request a callback.
What our clients say
Very pleased to find a company that can actually maintain an air source heat pump and underfloor heating system – so many can’t. Provided a quote before we booked…..turned up as arranged and provided a highly professional service. We’ll use again next year for annual service!
Steve M.Nothing but absolute praise. The owner came the day we phoned and the quotation was with us a couple of hours after he left. Very impressed with his knowledge and the way he did the survey. Shane, the engineer arrived when they said he would. He was a pleasure to have around- courteous, clean, tidy worker, got on with the job and kept us informed, including explaining why he considered some extras should be done to correct some faults with the old system whilst installing a new boiler and flushing through the heating system. I would thoroughly recommend them.
David PickersgillOutstanding service from Heat Norfolk. I called at 9am on a Monday morning to report a boiler failure. The telephone staff organised for an engineer to call that day and were very helpful in letting me know exactly when to expect the engineer. Their engineer was on site by 12.30 and had identified and fixed the problem by 1.15pm. Great service from a reliable local company.
RogerD-184Speedy turnout to non functioning boiler (same day) and diagnosed fuel contamination and drained off to get issue sorted on first visit. Second visit to attend to slight weep on fuel line -Joint disturbed on visit one ?? possibly. We have heat!!!Well done Heat Norfolk
AndrewL-801Very happy with our new boiler installation from Heat Norfolk. Very professional service throughout. All our enquiries were dealt with efficiently and effectively. Probably not the cheapest option but as they say ‘you pay for what you get’. I have every confidence our work was carried out to the highest standard and that peace of mind is priceless for an essential part of a functioning home. The engineer, Terry, was polite, extremely knowledgeable and carried out the work in tidy manor. No hesitation in recommending this company and will use again.
SamG-447I cannot praise heat Norfolk enough arrived when they said the 2 young men who came worked so hard from the moment they arrived till they left, our job was not the easiest an old church hall would highly recommend them Paul and Drew office side of things were also great also phoning them was a joy answered all my questions thank you Heat Norfolk.
HelenW-74626All we can say is ‘blooming marvellous’ – the whole process from the survey by Paul, and installation by Shane and Morgan was excellent. We were kept informed at every step of the way and when Shane encountered some issues with pipe work etc he used his skills to remedy the problems. They worked to the time plan and every day they tidied and ‘hoovered’ up – We thoroughly recommend Heat Norfolk and if you are lucky you will get Shane and Morgan! Our house has never been so warm – thank you all at Heat Norfolk!
