Frequently Asked Questions

Many people assume a larger heat pump will perform better, but that’s not always the case. A system that’s too big can switch on and off too often, while one that’s too small may struggle to keep your home comfortable. We assess your home’s size, layout, insulation, ceiling height, and sun exposure before recommending a heat pump that suits your space.

The location of both the indoor and outdoor units plays a big part in how well your heat pump performs. We look for a position that provides good airflow, minimises noise, and allows the system to heat or cool your home as efficiently as possible. Every property is different, so the ideal location will depend on your home’s layout.

In many cases, yes. If your existing heat pump is no longer performing well or has become unreliable, we can assess whether a replacement unit can be installed using your current setup or if any upgrades are needed. We’ll always recommend the most practical and cost-effective option for your home.

A properly sized and professionally installed heat pump is one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat and cool your home. While it does use electricity, many homeowners find it costs less to run than older heating systems because it delivers more heat for the energy it consumes.
