We are OFTEC registered to install Air Source Heat Pumps

What is an OFTEC registered installer?

​

Before an installer can become OFTEC registered they have to complete an approved training course and pass an assessment. They are then reassessed by OFTEC regularly to ensure they continue to meet the required working standards to remain OFTEC registered.

OFTEC registered installers can self-certify that their work meets Building Regulations and can carry out certain work without a building control notice. Any customer who uses an OFTEC registered installer will receive an official certificate to confirm that the work done meets the official industry standards for safety and quality. This means that homeowners do not need to spend time or money getting the work checked by the local authority. There are approximately 8,000 technicians who are registered with the OFTEC competent person scheme.

Why use an Air Source Heat Pump?

An air-source heat pump can provide efficient heating and cooling for your home. When properly installed, an air-source heat pump can deliver up to two to four times more heat energy to a home than the electrical energy it consumes.

Advantages of Heat Pumps

Save costs on fossil fuels

If your home is currently heated by a fossil fuel, such as gas, oil or LPG, then swapping to a heat pump will mean you will no longer need to order these fuels, allowing you to heat your home more sustainably. You can therefore enjoy not having these fuel costs to pay each month as your gas bills will be no more!

Heat pumps are very efficient

When an air source heat pump is installed and set up correctly, they are very efficient units, maximising output for the energy consumed.

 

For example, the Grant Aerona³ 6kW air source heat pump produces 6kW at a SCOP of 4.62 when tested at a low temperature and in average climate conditions (SCOP refers to the efficiency of a heat pump, calculating its overall performance during a particular season and dividing this by the annual energy consumed to run the heat pump).

​

In summary, what this means is that for every kilowatt of energy used to run the heat pump, over 4kW of energy is being given to the heating system in return.

Sustainable heating solution

An air source heat pump appliance itself burns no fossil fuels and uses electricity. With more and more of the electricity generation in the UK now being produced via renewables, this makes a heat pump a better choice for the environment than gas boilers.

Low maintenance and user-friendly

Heat pumps are user-friendly being both straightforward to control and simple to maintain. When we set up and commission a heat pump, we will set the core parameters of the system so that the end-user has minimal interaction with the controls. Thereafter, the homeowner can adjust their desired room temperatures via third-party controls, which may be app enabled, and they can sit back and enjoy their renewable system. The only thing to remember is to arrange the annual servicing of the heat pump.
