What are the cost considerations for installing an air source heat pump?
The cost of installing an air source heat pump can vary based on factors such as the size of your property, the type of system chosen, and any additional requirements for installation. It is advisable to obtain quotes from reputable installers to get an accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs.
What is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, and how does it relate to air source heat pumps?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a government initiative that provides financial incentives for upgrading to energy-efficient heating systems, including air source heat pumps. By participating in the scheme, homeowners can receive grants to offset the costs of installing eco-friendly heating solutions, such as air source heat pumps.
How does an Air Source Heat Pump work for domestic heating?
An Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) extracts heat from the outside air and uses it to warm your home. Even when the outside temperature is quite low, the pump can still collect heat from the air. This heat is then compressed and transferred inside to provide warmth. During warmer months, the system can also be reversed to cool your home. ASHPs are highly efficient and can significantly reduce your energy bills compared to traditional heating methods.
What are the benefits of installing an ASHP in my home?
Installing an ASHP offers numerous benefits, including lower energy bills, reduced carbon emissions, and reliable year-round comfort. ASHPs convert a small amount of electricity into a larger amount of heat, making them highly efficient. Additionally, they often qualify for government incentives and grants, making them a financially viable choice for homeowners looking to save on long-term energy costs.
How much does it cost to install an ASHP on a residential property?
The cost of installing an ASHP can vary depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the installation. On average, you can expect to pay between £8,000 and £12,000. For a precise quote, we offer free consultations where we evaluate your property and provide a detailed estimate based on your specific requirements.
What advantages does an ASHP offer for commercial buildings?
For commercial buildings, ASHPs provide an efficient solution for both heating and cooling, with lower operating costs and a reduced environmental impact. They are particularly well-suited for large spaces and can be customised to meet the diverse heating and cooling needs of different areas within the building. ASHPs also offer flexibility for future expansion or adjustments to the system.
How does maintenance work for commercial ASHP systems?
Regular maintenance is crucial for the effective operation of commercial ASHP systems. We recommend servicing the system at least once a year to ensure it runs efficiently. This includes checking for any issues, inspecting components, and cleaning filters. Proper maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends the lifespan of the system, and ensures optimal performance.
Are there financial incentives for installing ASHPs in commercial properties?
Yes, there are various financial incentives and grants available for installing ASHPs in commercial properties. These incentives can help reduce the initial investment cost. We can provide information on current schemes and assist with the application process to ensure you maximise the available financial support.
Air Conditioning
How often should I service my air conditioning unit?
It is recommended to service your air conditioning unit at least once a year to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and extends the lifespan of your system.
How do I choose the right air conditioning unit for my home?
Selecting the right air conditioning unit depends on several factors, including the size of your home, the number of rooms, and your cooling needs. For a standard three-bedroom home, a split system might be sufficient. However, larger homes may benefit from a multi-split or ducted system. We offer free consultations to assess your specific requirements and recommend the most suitable options.
How much does it cost to install air conditioning in a residential property?
The cost of installation varies based on the type of system, the size of the property, and the complexity of the installation. On average, a split system installation can range from £1,000 to £3,000, while a ducted system might cost between £5,000 and £10,000.

What Air Conditioning systems are the best?
The best systems on the market are Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Electric, Toshiba and similar. At Techno Cool Engineering, these are the three manufacturers we choose to work with.
We want to only supply the best to our clients, so that there is a reduced chance of something breaking down in the future.
How often should commercial air conditioning systems be serviced?
Regular maintenance is crucial for commercial air conditioning systems to ensure optimal performance and longevity. We recommend servicing your system at least twice a year—before the peak cooling season in the summer and the heating season in the winter. Regular maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and keeps energy costs low.
What are the benefits of a VRF system for commercial buildings?
Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems offer significant benefits for commercial buildings, including energy efficiency, flexibility in controlling different zones, and the ability to provide simultaneous heating and cooling. They are ideal for large offices, hotels, and retail spaces where precise climate control is essential.
Is Air Conditioning noisy and expensive to run?
To tackle the first query, air conditioning systems are extremely quiet. From the brands we supply, the average noise level is 35 dB. The only time you may hear your air conditioning unit is if you decide to put your ear next to the fan (which we don’t recommend).
Secondly, the cost to run air conditioning systems is very affordable and will continue to go down with the implementation of the latest technology.
