Trusted Heating & Air Conditioning Engineers in Folkestone

Yes, heat pump systems can be installed into all types of building. For older or more complex buildings, more engineering design may be required than for newly constructed properties.

No, they hum like a large refrigerator. The units we supply have had many years of research & development to minimise any noise. GSHPs are quieter than ASHPs. This is because they have no need for a fan & there is a reduced compressor power capacity requirement because heat extracted from the ground is generally warmer than that from the air. ASHP noise is only generated when it is in operation & has been compared to anything from a modern washing machine on a spin cycle to a chest freezer. Any noise generated will largely be minimised by double glazing.

It may be that the heat pump can cope with an extension to your property. However, as with other conventional heating systems, it may require an upgrade. If you have plans for an extension, please let us know prior to the installation of a new heat pump system as we may be able to factor this into the design

Servicing is not included in an install quotation. We recommend an annual inspection & service. And every five to seven years a major service including brine/ anti-freeze change, if applicable. Manufacturer warranties apply immediately on the commissioning of your heat pump.

The purpose of a heat loss survey is to collect data relating to the property, including dimensions, building fabric, openings & existing radiators/heat emmiters. We will also look at potential locations to site the heat pump unit & note the location of the electric meter, consumer unit & stopcock. The survey requires full access to the property & photographs will be taken to record everything. Subsequent to the heat loss survey, we will carry out the necessary calculations to be able to send you a full heat pump proposal and MCS-certified quotation.
