A site survey for the installation of a new Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) is a crucial step to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. The process begins with a qualified technician visiting the proposed installation site to assess various factors.

Firstly, the technician evaluates the property’s heating and hot water requirements by calculating the heat loss and gain. This involves examining the insulation levels, window types, and overall size of the building to determine the appropriate size and capacity of the heat pump needed.

Next, the technician inspects the outdoor location for the heat pump. This location should have adequate space, be free from obstructions, and have access to sunlight to maximize efficiency. The technician also checks for proximity to the indoor heating system and evaluates the existing electrical supply to ensure it can support the new unit.

Additionally, the technician assesses the local climate conditions, as these can influence the heat pump’s performance. Any potential obstacles, such as noise restrictions or aesthetic concerns, are also noted.

Finally, a detailed report is compiled, outlining the findings and recommendations, which helps the homeowner make an informed decision about the installation. This thorough approach ensures that the heat pump operates efficiently and effectively, providing reliable heating and hot water for years to come.

Applying for the installation of a new Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) and claiming the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant involves several steps to ensure a smooth process.

First, homeowners should check their eligibility for the grant, which typically requires the property to be an existing home and meet certain energy efficiency standards. After confirming eligibility, the next step is to select a qualified installer registered with the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) or an equivalent accreditation body.

To apply for the grant, we will complete the necessary paperwork, including proof of eligibility and details of the proposed installation. Homeowners need to provide any required documentation, such as proof of ownership and a valid EPC. (We can arrange a new EPC if required)

After submitting the application, the installer will handle the submission to the relevant authority. If approved, the grant funds are typically deducted from the installation costs, making the process more affordable for homeowners. Upon successful installation, the homeowner can enjoy efficient heating while benefiting from the financial support of the grant.

The installation of a new Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) at a domestic property is an efficient process designed to provide reliable heating and hot water.

Once the site is approved, the installation team prepares the area by ensuring proper clearance and access to the electrical supply. The outdoor unit, which absorbs heat from the air, is typically mounted on a bracket or a concrete pad to keep it elevated and secure.

Next, the indoor unit is installed, often in a utility area or near the existing heating system. The two units are connected by insulated refrigerant pipes and electrical wiring, allowing for efficient heat transfer. The installer ensures that the system is integrated with the home’s existing heating infrastructure, such as radiators or underfloor heating.

After the physical installation, the technician performs system checks and calibrations to ensure optimal performance. They also provide the homeowner with guidance on operating the system efficiently. Once completed, the ASHP offers a sustainable solution for heating and hot water, contributing to reduced energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.

Commissioning a new Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) in a domestic property involves final checks to ensure the system operates efficiently and meets safety standards. The technician verifies that all connections are secure, calibrates the system settings, and conducts performance tests. Once commissioning is complete, the ASHP needs to be registered with Ofgem to qualify for government incentives, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. The installer submits necessary documentation, including installation details and compliance certificates, to Ofgem. Upon successful registration, homeowners can access financial support, making the transition to renewable heating more affordable and streamlined.
