Air Source Heat Pump Installation

Whitfield Plumbing, Heating & Cooling provides air source heat pump installation across Shropshire, Staffordshire, Cheshire and surrounding areas. Our experienced heating engineers can assess your property, existing heating system and requirements before recommending suitable equipment.

Air source heat pumps use heat from the outside air to provide heating and, when connected to a suitable system, domestic hot water. They can replace an existing boiler or form part of a hybrid heating arrangement, depending on the property and equipment.

We work with Worcester Bosch heating products and can discuss suitable air source heat pump options, installation requirements and available manufacturer guarantees during the quotation process.

Established in 2013, Whitfield is a family-run company providing plumbing, heating and cooling services. We aim to provide straightforward advice on whether a heat pump is appropriate for your home rather than recommending a system without first assessing its suitability.

Is Your Home Suitable for an Air Source Heat Pump?

Before installing an air source heat pump, it is important to assess the property and existing heating system. Suitability depends on heat loss, insulation, radiator sizes, available installation space and the property’s heating and hot water requirements.

Heat pumps generally operate most efficiently when supplying water at lower temperatures than a conventional boiler. This means some properties may benefit from improved insulation, larger radiators or underfloor heating, although these changes are not always necessary.

Whitfield can discuss the following considerations:

Property insulation: Heat loss and draughts influence the heating system’s required output and running costs.
Radiators and underfloor heating: Existing heat emitters must be capable of heating the rooms at suitable flow temperatures.
Hot water requirements: The proposed system must accommodate the household’s hot water demand and any cylinder requirements.
Outdoor unit positioning: Suitable space, access, airflow and noise considerations must be assessed.

Where a heat pump is not the most appropriate option, we can also discuss alternative heating arrangements, including suitable gas, LPG or oil boiler installations.

Standard & Hybrid Air Source Heat Pump Systems

The appropriate heat pump system depends on the existing heating equipment, heat loss calculations and the requirements of the property. Whitfield can discuss standard air source heat pumps and hybrid arrangements where suitable.

Standard air source heat pumps: An air-to-water heat pump provides heating through a compatible wet central heating system and can heat domestic hot water using a suitable cylinder. These systems can replace an existing boiler where the property and heating system are suitable.
Hybrid air source heat pumps: A hybrid arrangement combines an air source heat pump with a compatible gas or oil boiler. The equipment is designed to work together, with the heating controls managing when each heat source operates. Compatibility and system design must be assessed before installation.
Heat pump replacements: Existing heat pump systems can be assessed for replacement where equipment is ageing, unreliable or no longer suitable for the property’s requirements.

Worcester Bosch has offered standard and hybrid heat pump systems, including the 7001i and 7000i ranges. We can confirm current product availability, compatibility and applicable guarantees when preparing a quotation.

Heat Pump Servicing & Repairs

Whitfield also provides heat pump servicing, diagnostics and repairs. Our engineers can investigate heating faults, assess system performance and advise on maintenance or necessary repairs. Contact us if an existing heat pump requires attention.
