Your property brief
Heat Pumps
Heating replacement, decarbonisation planning or changed use can justify a heat-pump assessment. Establish the building's heat requirement and how it is distributed. Replacing the heat source without checking emitters, controls and electrical capacity can leave the system poorly matched.
Discuss this service
What the service can include
The brief covers heat demand, equipment selection, distribution interfaces, controls, electrical provision and installation. It identifies hot-water requirements, siting and commissioning. The scope should explain retained components and any changes required for the complete system.
We provide every service in our catalogue, including the individual services within each trade, for all sectors and locations listed on this website. Tell us what your property needs so we can agree the work, access and timing.
What to consider
Heat-pump performance depends on operating conditions, including the temperatures the system must deliver. A catalogue efficiency figure is not a site guarantee. Equipment selection needs the actual duty and the building's practical constraints, including noise, space and maintenance access.
A closer look at the property brief.
The work starts with the property.Before we visit
Provide property information, heating records and planned fabric improvements. Identify external siting permissions and electrical supply details. Agree the disruption and responsibility for internal alterations or making good.
How we help
We establish demand and assess the existing heating arrangement, then define options and required changes. Installation coordinates the relevant trades. Handover includes commissioning, controls guidance and the maintenance information needed for the revised system.
What affects cost and timing
Duty, equipment type, distribution changes, electrical work and access affect cost. Fabric or hot-water improvements may create separate tasks. Compare complete systems and operating assumptions rather than heat-source price alone.
Property and sector applications
Managing agents need responsibilities and approvals connected to the correct owner. Residential blocks need communal and individual areas distinguished. Retail and hospitality need work coordinated with customers and occupiers. Our complete service and project offering supports all sectors, with scope suited to the property and the people using it.
Local coverage
We cover Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Tees Valley, including Berwick-upon-Tweed, Alnwick, Morpeth, Hexham, Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough. View all locations.
For several properties, provide separate access and occupancy information. A remote owner can nominate a local representative while retaining a clear route for approving the work.
Frequently asked questions
Can existing radiators always remain?
Their suitability must be assessed against the proposed operating temperatures and room requirements.
Does a heat pump need electrical capacity assessment?
Yes. The proposed equipment and other site loads need consideration.
Can savings be predicted from the product rating alone?
No. The building, use, tariffs and system operation affect the result.
Does installation include internal decoration?
Include the required making good and finish in the instruction where pipework or emitters change.
