Gas prices are going up and increasing numbers of homeowners in Burnley are wondering if they should make the change. Heat pumps move the heat from the surrounding environment and distribute it in the interior of your house. They use very little energy to do this. A gas boiler needs far more energy to do the same job. Boiler Repairs Burnley has been providing installation and maintenance service for heating systems since 2011. Now we have expanded our experience of Burnley to heat pumps as well.
Air Source and Ground Source Heat Pump Installation in Burnley
For most houses, an air source heat pump is the ideal choice. The installation is done outside your house and does not involve any excavation work. The ground source uses pipes that are buried underground to collect heat. Though it is expensive initially, it functions reliably irrespective of the weather condition. We install Vaillant aroTHERM, Daikin, Mitsubishi Ecodan, Worcester Bosch and Grant heat pumps. We use monobloc or split models depending on where your outdoor unit will sit.
If you live in an old stone terrace at Burnley Wood, bigger radiators should be installed before the heat pump can be installed. Heat pumps work at a lower temperature compared to gas boilers. This makes bigger radiators necessary to heat up the room effectively. We carry out this check at the surveying stage so that you are not surprised after the installation process. Houses in Rose Hill and Rosegrove with cavity wall insulation and newer radiators usually need fewer changes.
What is the cost of an air-source heat pump in Burnley? The typical cost of the air-source heat pump ranges from £8,000 to £14,000 without the grant. Now, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides £7,500 towards air source or ground source heat pumps. This brings the actual cost much closer to a boiler installation. We take care of all grant documentation during the process of the heat pump installation.
All our installed systems include weather compensation controls, a buffer tank where necessary, and a heat pump-compatible hot water cylinder. In case your heat pump fails to provide proper heating or there is ice forming around the outdoor unit, you should not panic. These problems usually point to an issue with the refrigerant or airflow, not the compressor. All our engineers have F-gas qualifications.
Regular servicing will ensure that your unit runs at the rated efficiency, which maintains your warranty. We serve properties all around the area from Burnley town centre to Padiham, Brierfield, Stoneyholme and Hapton, covering BB10, BB11 and BB12 postcode areas. Operating costs of air-source heat pumps are quite competitive with natural gas provided the right size of the unit is installed.
