A Heat Pump is essentially a piece of equipment that replaces your boiler to heat your home & hot water.
Air & Ground source heat pumps work in a similar way to your fridge, just in reverse. Instead taking latent heat from the air outside or ground, using it to warm up a cold refrigerant, compressing it to raise the temperature, then give that heat to water via a heat exchanger. There are much more in depth explanations and we are happy to discuss this during a visit or call if you are unsure. Rest assured the technology has been around for quite sometime, just like combi boilers, but not many home owners know how they work. So leave that bit to us to worry about.
Just like your fridge or car, if well-maintained, your Heat Pump should have a considerable life span. I have been installing Heat Pumps for the last 20 years and have not yet been called back to replace one! The answer however is the number of stop/starts of the compressor and design temperatures. This is why design is so important in the installation. If you drove a regular car around in 1st gear, in town and down the motorway, stopping frequently, you wouldn't expect it to last that long. That is the same as a poorly designed heat pump / heating system.
No, not really. You may have heard otherwise but these are probably very old units. Different models have different sound levels but generally a heat pump cannot be heard over people talking. Ground source heat pumps make a sound like your freezer running.
Not always, with the newest range of high temperature heat pumps we can keep more radiators but we want the heat pump to have an easy life to give you the best value for money and longevity.
Yes! Heat pumps can work on the same basis as above to temperatures as low as -20C, while delivering hot water to 55C. The big benefit of ground source heat pumps is that the ground does not get so cold, so happily work all year.
Yes, there are rebates, grants and incentives available for purchasing energy-efficient heating equipment, as well as tax relief particularly heat pumps & PV. Regrettably Tom Cross Heating & Renewables Ltd cannot yet provide BUS scheme £7,500 discounts. There is a lot of red tape regarding the scheme and we are on the case to get recognised for this scheme ASAP.
Absolutely! Give us a shout and we can discuss your customer's requirements. We would rather you ask at the design stage to benefit you and your customer the most! But if you have hit the wall and need help then give us a shout. We and you want a happy customer.
Every year. If you think it has a problem, if your bills suddenly become expensive or you are experiencing funny noises or gurgles. Get in touch, earlier the better!
Yes, give us a call. Many of our 1st time callers don't know how their heat pump works or what it's called. We provide a fixed rate service, to pop over, have a look, make any tweaks and get your system up and running to get the best out of your heating & hot water system.
In short, most likely not.... I know that's not what you wanted to hear and there are many reasons why. Your PV installed by one of our partners can definitely help with reducing the running cost but without significant battery storage and arrays you will not likely be "energy independent". Call us to find out more.
Absolutely! It would be remiss of us not to explore the options, so we will make a recommendation according to your needs. That may well be swapping your old broken boiler for a new one but with the grants available and running costs, a heat pump is often a good option.
Give us a shout or send an email.
This is a short clip if the ground loops going in.
Turn the volume up, see if you can hear this ASHP over Oxford background noise.
