Heat pumps for larger homes
Before proposing a heat pump for any type of building, we run a heat loss analysis. This tells us how efficient your home is at storing heat. The more heat-efficient your home is, the less work your heating technology will need to do.
This means, that if your home has decent insulation – loft insulation, quality double glazing and draught exclusion – then a single heat pump is likely to be capable of keeping you and your family toasty in even the coldest winter.
If your home is older and hasn’t had any insulation upgrades, we’d recommend you prioritise this before investing in renewable power sources.
For exceptionally large buildings, we’d propose a ‘cascade’ of heat pumps. This means using more than one heat pump to deliver the heat you need. This kind of setup is common in commercial and community buildings such as hospitals, pubs, and churches – most of which are far larger than a residential property.
So, in summary, heat pumps are certainly suitable for larger homes. After all, if they’re suitable for churches – some of the draughtiest, most expansive buildings in the UK – they’re a perfect choice for domestic properties, whether large or small.
Don’t take it from us; here’s what our happy customers say…
“Tom recently installed our air source heat pump. In short, he did a great job and was a brilliant font of knowledge for us.”– Mr Allen
