About our air source heat pumps in Tile Hurst
Air-to-air heat pumps can qualify for a £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, but only in some cases. It has to replace the fossil-fuel heating, cover the whole heating demand, be fitted by an MCS certified installer and be in a home, so an add-on next to a boiler is not eligible. The work covers underfloor heating, homes heated by oil, LPG or gas and hot water cylinders, and common reasons people get in touch are ageing boilers that will need replacing and checking whether planning permission is needed.
Space for an outdoor unit is rarely an issue near Tile Hurst, so the design focuses on heat loss and radiators.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.
