What type of building is suitable for heat pumps?
We can design heat pump systems for most building types – domestic and commercial; new and older builds. The ideal situation in which to extract maximum return from a heat pump is a new building (or newly renovated building that’s up to current building regulations) that’s properly insulated and has underfloor heating. However, it is still possible and practical to install a heat pump into an older, less well insulated building – even one without underfloor heating. Bear in mind though that this is not the most ideal situation for obtaining optimum return from the heat pump. Most radiators would need to be either doubled in size or converted to aluminium to compensate for the lower water temperature and increase output temperature.
