Heat Pump Installation in Bognor Regis

Thinking about switching to a heat pump? As Heat Geek Verified installers, WellPlumbed specialises in professional air source heat pump installation throughout Bognor Regis and the surrounding areas.

Air Source Heat Pump Installation Near You

Heat pump installation in Bognor Regis requires specialist knowledge – it’s not like fitting a traditional boiler. At WellPlumbed, we’re Heat Geek Verified, which means we’ve completed rigorous training in heat pump design and installation.

Our approach to air source heat pump installation starts with a detailed survey of your property. We’ll calculate your home’s heat loss, assess your existing heating system, and determine what size heat pump you need and whether any upgrades to radiators or pipework are necessary. 

A poorly designed heat pump system can leave you cold and disappointed, but a well-designed one will keep your home comfortable while significantly reducing your heating costs and carbon footprint.

What is an Air Source Heat Pump?

An air source heat pump extracts heat from the outside air (even when it’s cold) and uses it to heat your home and hot water. It works a bit like a fridge in reverse – a fridge extracts heat from inside and releases it outside, while a heat pump extracts heat from outside and brings it inside.

The clever part is that heat pumps move heat rather than generate it by burning fuel, which makes them incredibly efficient. For every unit of electricity they use, they can produce 3-4 units of heat. Compare that to a gas boiler, which produces less than one unit of heat for every unit of gas it burns (when you account for flue losses and inefficiencies).

Benefits of Heat Pump Installation

Discover the advantages of installing a heat pump in your home – efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective.

Lower Energy Bills

Heat pumps are much more efficient than gas or oil boilers. While they run on electricity, they’re so efficient that most homes see a reduction in heating costs.

Reduced Carbon Footprint

Switching to a heat pump is one of the most effective ways to reduce your home’s carbon emissions. A heat pump produces significantly less CO2 than gas, oil, or LPG.

Government Grants Available 

The UK Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides a £7,500 grant towards the cost of installing an air source heat pump in your home. 

Year-Round Heating & Cooling

Most air source heat pumps can provide cooling in summer as well as heating in winter, though this depends on the system type and how it’s set up. 

Already have a heat pump that needs a bit of TLC? We also offer heat pump repair and servicing in Bognor Regis.

Is Your Home Suitable for a Heat Pump?

Not every home is an ideal candidate for a heat pump, but many more properties are suitable than people think. Here’s what we look for when assessing whether heat pump installation makes sense:

Insulation

Heat pumps work most efficiently in well-insulated homes because they operate at lower temperatures than gas boilers. 

Radiator Size 

Heat pumps typically run at lower water temperatures (45-55°C rather than 70-80°C), so you may need larger radiators to provide the same amount of heat.

Space for the Outdoor Unit  

The outdoor unit needs to be positioned where it has good airflow and won’t disturb you or your neighbours with noise. 

Your Existing Heating System  

Heat pumps make most sense if you’re replacing oil, LPG, or electric heating, or if your gas boiler needs replacing anyway and you want to future-proof your home. 

The only way to know for certain is to have a proper survey. We’ll assess your property honestly and tell you whether a heat pump is a good fit or not.

Our Heat Pump Installation Process

Initial Survey & Assessment  

We start with a thorough survey of your home – measuring your property, calculating heat loss for each room, assessing your existing system, and more. 

System Design & Proposal   

Based on the survey, we’ll design a heat pump system that’s right for your home. You’ll receive a detailed proposal explaining what we’re proposing and why. 

Professional Installation   

Once you’re happy with the proposal, we’ll schedule the installation. This typically takes 2-3 days depending on the complexity.

Commissioning & Handover 

After installation, we commission the system – setting it up, testing everything, and optimising the settings for your home. We’ll then give you a thorough handover.

What Our Happy Customers Say…

Real homes. Real projects. Real feedback. Here’s what our customers genuinely appreciate about working with WellPlumbed.

James came over to my mother in laws on Friday and replaced her kitchen taps, bit of a tricky job due to corrosion and an awkward level of access!. I’ve nothing but praise for James’s work, very efficient, tidy and made a first rate job. I would strongly recommend James for any plumbing and heating work.

Michael Burns

I have been using James for over ten years for many jobs including moving and replacing a boiler. He is very good communicator and is always prompt in turning up on time. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Nigel Hasted

James fitted a complete gas central system, after removing old storage heaters. He completed the work efficiently and worked extremely hard to complete the project on time. His expert advice and knowledge of heating systems help guide us in giving us a lovely warm home, which is now much more energy efficient.
