Air Source Heat Pumps in Clifton
Homes in Clifton
Clifton is a district of Bristol near the Clifton Suspension Bridge, about 7 miles east of our Portishead base. It has many Georgian and Regency terraces, and much of it is a conservation area. Air source heat pumps can often go in under permitted development rights within noise and siting limits, so on a terrace the outdoor unit position needs early thought. Tell us when you get in touch if your home is in the conservation area. Indoors, the questions are insulation and whether your radiators or underfloor heating can work at lower flow temperatures. A recent customer praised the persistence shown in resolving issues on a complex installation.
“Richard and Reuben have just completed our heat pump installation and we can’t speak highly enough of the job they have done. From the scheme design to completing the job they’ve been reliable, professional, knowledgable and have been diligent in finding fixes for everything that’s cropped up during the complex installation. They take real pride in the work they do and have been an absolute pleasure to have doing the work.”
What matters for air source heat pumps in Clifton
Planning Air Source Heat Pumps in Clifton starts with the heating you have now, your hot-water demand and the radiators already in place. We then weigh up insulation and the outdoor unit position, and check whether the property suits the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. The fitting itself is done through an MCS-accredited Vaillant route.
- First, a conversation about your current heating and hot-water use
- Radiators and insulation assessed against lower flow temperatures
- Outdoor unit position agreed within permitted development limits
Questions about air source heat pumps in Clifton
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Georgian terrace?
That depends on the house. Heat pumps can often be installed under permitted development rights, but only within noise and siting limits, so we look at the options with you as part of the quote. If the house is in the conservation area, mention it at the start.
What guarantee comes with the heat pump?
The Vaillant aroTHERM unit carries a 7-year guarantee on the route Richard offers.
