Why Switch to a Heat Pump Here?
Three reasons make the case:
Running cost
The climate suits it
Replacement timing
For the fix-or-swap question, and heat pumps weighed against gas and solar, see hot water systems.
How a Heat Pump Install Goes
Here is the order of work:
- 1
Measure-up
We ask how much hot water the house uses, find a spot for the unit and check the pipe and power supply, then recommend a size.
- 2
Fixed quote
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead. Nothing is ordered until you approve the figure.
- 3
The install
We drain and remove the old cylinder, set the heat pump on a slab or bracket, connect the pipework and commission it with a timer that suits your day.
- 4
Warranty and handover
We show you the settings and basic upkeep, and every install carries our 365-day warranty on all work.
What Shapes a Heat Pump Price?
Capacity comes first:
Tank capacity
Pipe changes
Power supply
Taking the old unit away
A tank that is weeping rather than dead gets traced by the water leak detection team first, so the right problem gets fixed.
Where the Unit Sits Matters on This Coast
Salt spray decides the mounting spot
A heat pump spends its whole life outdoors
Mild winters help

When We're Not the Right Call
A heat pump that needs its own circuit, or a fuse board that has to be replaced first, is a job for an electrician, and we flag it when we quote. Moving the unit onto a new slab or wall bracket is ours, but building work around it is a builder's.
Heat Pump Questions Answered
Does the salt air here shorten a heat pump's life?
It can. The fan, coil and casing live outdoors, and saltwater corrosion here is among the worst in the council area. We pick a spot out of the direct spray where the yard allows, and each service includes a look at the casing.
Is a heat pump a sensible fit for an older cottage?
It can be, depending on the house. Some cottages still run old galvanised water pipe, and an old fuse board may need an electrician first. At the measure-up we check pressure, pipe condition and the power supply before recommending anything.
Can you service the heat pump unit I already have?
Yes. We service and repair existing heat pumps as well as installing new ones. If yours has gone cold, started rattling or is showing a fault code, the fault gets diagnosed and priced before any part is changed.
What happens to hot water while a heat pump is on order?
While you wait on stock, we can connect a temporary tank so nobody is stuck with cold showers. Ask about it when we quote, and it comes out once the heat pump is running.
