FAQs
Is a ground-source heat pump suitable for my property?
Ground-source heat pumps are ultra-reliable heating systems because they extract heat from the earth’s temperatures – which remain consistent throughout the year. However, you’ll either need a large outdoor space to accommodate horizontal systems or be willing to install vertical boreholes.
Once we assess your property, we’ll advise whether a ground-source heat pump is the best option available. Air-source heat pumps are a good alternative, as they have a compact design and will provide consistent heating throughout the year.
Are heat pumps suitable for homes in York?
Absolutely! York might experience cold winters and mild summers, but heat pumps are reliable systems. They can work in below-freezing temperatures and are highly popular in Scandinavian countries, where it’s much colder.
Can ground-source heat pumps provide hot water?
Yes, they can. If you have an underfloor heating system or radiators, we can replace your existing hot water cylinder with one that will allow you to generate hot water through your heat pump.
