Before replacing like-for-like

Old boiler, repeated faults or rising repair costs?

Replacing a boiler is a major decision. Before committing to another traditional system, it may be worth checking whether a heat pump could be suitable.

  • Old or unreliable boiler
  • Oil or LPG heating
  • Planning a wider home upgrade
  • Interested in current government support

How a heat pump works

Heat from the air, used for your heating and hot water.

An outdoor unit absorbs heat energy from the air and transfers it into your home’s heating system. Air-to-water systems can provide both space heating and domestic hot water.

Heat pumps typically run for longer periods at lower water temperatures than boilers, which is why good system design matters.
