Expert Domestic Heat Pump Installers for Georgian & Victorian houses

Georgian and Victorian houses can benefit from air source heat pumps like any other aged property, although there are specific considerations. These properties often feature solid walls, high ceilings, and large, draughty windows, posing challenges for insulation and heat retention.

Some historic properties may need to be retrofitted to bring them up to modern insulation standards, including cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, and double glazing. Proper insulation reduces the heat demand, allowing heat pumps to operate more effectively and cost-efficiently.

The distribution of heat within these historic properties is another critical factor. Heat pump systems require efficient pipework to circulate heated water or refrigerant, so upgrading and insulating existing pipework may be necessary.

Understandably, many period homeowners seek to preserve the aesthetic of their properties. The good news is that external heat pump units are compact, and there are many covers on the market to make them blend in seamlessly. That is why they are even suitable for listed buildings (permission allowing).

To ensure your Georgian or Victorian home is properly prepared for a heat pump system, it’s essential to consult an accredited installer like Cinergi. We will carry out a thorough on-site evaluation to calculate the correct sized heat pump for your needs. Contact us today to get started.

What is a heat pump?

Heat pumps have been around for a while now, but are only recently gaining real traction in the world of domestic heating. This is due to the continuous advancement of technology and also government backing via grants such as Green Deal and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS).

Air source heat pumps are most commonly found in 2 forms:

Both operate on the same basis, but as the name suggests, gather their energy from a either the air or the ground. Other systems, such as water source heat pumps, are available but are yet to become as commonplace.

What are the benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps for Georgian and Victorian houses?

1) Reduced Fuel Bills

Depending on your current energy supply, installing an air source heat pump could reduce your heating energy bills. Typically, the largest savings are seen when replacing oil, LPG, electric, or old/inefficient natural gas boilers.

2) Reduced Carbon Emissions

Air Source Heat Pumps do not burn fossil fuels and are powered by electricity alone. As a result, switching to an air source heat pump can drastically reduce your home’s carbon emissions.

3) Minimal Maintenance

A yearly inspection is required in order to ensure the heat pump is operating effectively and safely, and to maintain the relevant guarantees. Therefore, it is much less onerous than maintaining a gas or oil boiler.

Air Source Heat Pumps are far easier to install than ground source, and provide far less disruption to the occupiers. A typical installation takes between 2 to 6 days, depending on the size, type and layout of your property.

Customer Reviews

After speaking to several heating engineers we decided to go with Cinergi to upgrade our old back boiler for a new Worcester Bosch combi. We are so glad with our choice and would recommend Ian to anyone. We are delighted with the service we have received, we were never without hot water and he worked in a professional and friendly manner. Ian’s quote was clear and itemised so we could see exactly what we were spending our money on and he was able to offer us helpful advice on the best solution for us.

We Chose Cinergi to replace our 17 year old boiler, we contacted Ian at Cinergi through the Bosch Worcester accredited installer website with a few other companies. We had several other companies attend but they wanted to remove some of my decking to install a soakaway buried in the ground with limestone chippings, Ian was the only one who said there was no need for that to be done – he would install a Sentinel condensafe condensate neutraliser. Ian was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable i would not hesitate to recommend him his workmanship was fantastic.

Cinergi were able to fit a new boiler at short notice with a more than reasonable quote. Ian arrived as scheduled, was very friendly and knowledgeable and got straight on with the job. His workmanship is excellent plus he takes away the old boiler/rubbish, making sure the job is left tidy. During the installation I presented Ian with a separate bit of work, moving a problematic pipe for an existing radiator. He solved the issue with some clever pipework which he was able to hide leaving a perfect finish. Overall Ian was brilliant at his job and is obviously very experienced and skilled. I would highly recommend him to anybody and we will definitely be using Cinergi in the future.
