Heat pumps

  • Are heat pumps difficult to install?

    No, as long as they are correctly designed and installed by a qualified engineer.

    Heat pump training is available from the Hamworthy Heating Expert Academy. To book a space visit HERE.

    Hamworthy Heating also offers a number of CIBSE approved heat pump Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seminars, which are led by a knowledgeable and expert team. For more information or to book a space visit HERE.

  • Can a heat pump replace a boiler?

    Yes, in most cases if the heating system has been sized correctly, a heat pump is a suitable alternative to a traditional fossil fuel system.

  • Why choose an air source heat pump?

    Air source heat pumps offer an efficient and reliable way of heating buildings and provide a good alternative to traditional fossil fuel boilers. With a compact design, air source heat pump technology is one of the most versatile and cost-effective low carbon appliances on the market.

  • What are the advantages of installing a heat pump?
    • Reduced carbon footprint

    • Incentives and funding benefits

    • Reduced running costs

  • Are heat pumps noisy?

    The Tyneham range of air source heat pumps have noise levels as low as 64 dB(A).

  • What is COP?

    The coefficient of performance (COP) refers to the efficiency of a heat pump and directly relates to the energy output from a heat pump. It is the ratio of heat produced, relative to each unit of electricity consumed in the heat pump.

  • What is SCOP?

    The seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) is the average COP carried over the annual heating season (the full year).

  • Are heat pumps efficient?

    Yes, Tyneham heat pumps can be up to 494% efficient. (A7/W35)

  • Can a heat pump be used with radiators?

    Yes, as long as heat pumps are sized correctly, they will work well with radiators.

  • Will a heat pump work with underfloor heating?

    Yes, a heat pump will work with different emitters like underfloor heating or fan coils. To see how this works, read our Cambridge Primary School case study HERE

  • Can a heat pump be used with other renewable sources?

    Yes, Tyneham heat pumps can be integrated with most renewable energy sources such as PV.

  • Are heat pumps more expensive to run?

    Heat pumps traditionally cost almost the same as gas boilers but should be significantly cheaper to run in comparison to oil, LPG or direct electric boilers.
