Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) Installation

At Hubbard Plumbing and Heating Services, we are committed to supporting the heating industry’s transition to more sustainable energy sources by specializing in Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) installations. Our focus on ASHP technology allows us to deliver proficient, high-quality installations that are both environmentally friendly and financially beneficial, thanks to the largest government grants available in the renewables sector.

Why Choose Air Source Heat Pumps?

Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) are a key component in the move towards decarbonizing heat. They offer a sustainable alternative to traditional heating methods, providing efficient heating solutions that reduce carbon footprints and energy bills. Here’s why ASHPs are an excellent choice for your home:

• Energy Efficiency: ASHPs extract heat from the air, making them highly efficient even in colder temperatures. They can produce more heat energy than the electrical energy they consume.

• Environmental Benefits: By using renewable energy from the air, ASHPs significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional heating systems.

• Cost Savings: With government incentives and grants, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), homeowners can reduce the upfront cost of installation and enjoy long-term savings on energy bills.

Our ASHP Installation Services

• Expert System Design and Commissioning

• Comprehensive Design: Our team of experts conducts detailed system design to ensure that your ASHP system is tailored to your home’s specific needs, providing optimal performance and efficiency.

• Professional Commissioning: We handle the entire commissioning process, ensuring that your system is set up correctly and operates at peak efficiency from day one.

Key Installation Considerations

• Temperature Requirements: Unlike traditional gas boilers that operate at high temperatures (around 75 degrees Celsius), ASHPs work at lower temperatures (around 45 degrees Celsius). This requires larger surface areas for heat emission, such as bigger radiators or underfloor heating systems.

• Detailed Calculations: Proper installation involves meticulous calculations of heat loss, pipe sizing, water volume, and flow rates to ensure the system meets your home’s heating demands.

Government Grants and Certification

• Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) Grant: To qualify for the BUS grant, worth up to £7500, your ASHP installation must be managed through an MCS certified company. This ensures compliance with government standards and guarantees the highest quality of work.

• MCS Certification: We often collaborate with MCS umbrella companies to facilitate the certification process, making it easier for smaller businesses to offer MCS certified installations and allowing you to benefit from government incentives.

Accurate Quotes and Detailed Planning

Providing an accurate quote for ASHP installation requires detailed work early in the process. This includes:

• Initial Consultation: Discussing your heating needs and assessing your property to determine the suitability of ASHP installation.

• Heat Loss Calculations: Conducting precise heat loss calculations to design a system that efficiently meets your heating requirements.

• System Design and Specification: Creating a detailed design and specification to ensure the installation is carried out to the highest standards.
