Frequently Asked Renewables Questions
Renewable heating systems use naturally occurring energy sources to provide heating and/or hot water. For homes, this can include technologies such as air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps and solar thermal systems.
An air source heat pump extracts heat energy from the outside air and uses it to provide heating and hot water for a property. It can operate even when outdoor temperatures are low and is one of the more common renewable heating options for homes.
Suitability depends on factors such as the size and construction of your property, insulation, existing heating system, available outdoor space and your heating and hot water requirements. A proper property assessment is important before installation.
In some properties, a heat pump can provide the majority or all of the home’s heating and hot water requirements. However, the suitability of replacing an existing boiler depends on the property, heat loss, radiators, hot water requirements and other factors.
Not necessarily, but some existing radiators may not be large enough to provide the required heat at the lower flow temperatures typically used by heat pumps. A heating assessment can determine whether your existing radiators are suitable or need upgrading.
Good insulation can reduce heat loss and improve the performance of a heating system. Depending on the property, improving insulation may be recommended before or alongside installing a renewable heating system.
The cost varies depending on the type and size of system, property requirements, existing heating system, pipework, radiators and installation complexity. A site survey is usually required before an accurate quotation can be provided.
Running costs depend on factors such as the heat pump’s efficiency, electricity tariff, property insulation, outdoor temperatures, heating controls and how the system is operated. Your installer can provide more specific guidance based on your property.
Heat pumps generally require routine maintenance to keep the system operating effectively. Maintenance requirements depend on the equipment installed and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Modern heat pumps are designed to operate relatively quietly, although they do produce some sound when running. Correct positioning and installation are important considerations when planning an installation.
Government support schemes can change over time and eligibility depends on factors such as the technology, property and location. If your company helps customers with funding or grant applications, explain exactly what assistance you provide.
We can assess your existing heating system and property to determine whether a heat pump is suitable. Where appropriate, we’ll explain the installation requirements and any changes that may be needed to your heating system.
It can be, but older properties may require improvements before a renewable heating system can operate effectively. The building’s insulation, heat loss, radiators, pipework and hot water requirements should all be considered.
The lifespan varies according to the technology, manufacturer, installation quality, usage and maintenance. Following the manufacturer’s servicing and maintenance recommendations can help keep the system operating effectively.
Yes. Many domestic heat pump systems can provide both space heating and hot water, usually using a hot water cylinder or another suitable storage arrangement.
Installation times vary depending on the property and system. A straightforward installation may take several days, while more complex projects involving new radiators, pipework, hot water cylinders or other upgrades can take longer.
Yes, renewable heating systems can be installed in existing homes. However, the property should be assessed to determine whether modifications such as insulation improvements, radiator upgrades or changes to the hot water system are required.
An air source heat pump takes heat from the outside air, while a ground source heat pump extracts heat from the ground using buried pipework. Ground source systems generally require more land and involve a different installation process.
Yes. Heat pumps are designed to operate throughout the year, including during cold weather. Their performance varies with outdoor conditions, which is why correct system sizing and installation are important.
