Air Source Heat Pump Installers in Norfolk & Norwich
Planning to replace your heating or install a heat pump in a new property? Norfolk Renewable Heating designs and installs air source heat pumps for homes and businesses across Norfolk and Norwich.
Our MCS-certified team starts with your property and heating requirements. We assess how much heat your building needs, discuss your existing system and explain the installation work required. You receive advice tailored to your project, helping you understand your options before deciding how to proceed.
From the initial discussion through to installation and handover, we help you make informed decisions about your new heating system.
Is Your Property Suitable for an Air Source Heat Pump?
Air source heat pumps can suit both existing properties and new builds. The right design depends on your building’s heat demand, insulation, available space and the way you use your heating and hot water.
We assess these factors together rather than recommending equipment based only on the size of your property.
Existing Radiators and Underfloor Heating
A heat pump can supply water-based heating through radiators or underfloor heating. We assess whether your existing system can provide the required warmth at the proposed operating temperatures and explain any changes that may be needed.
Some properties will need radiator or pipework upgrades. Understanding this early helps you assess the full installation rather than just the heat pump itself.
Outdoor Space and Hot Water
Your installation needs a suitable position for the outdoor unit, with appropriate airflow, access and consideration for neighbouring properties. Depending on your current setup, you may also need space for a compatible hot-water cylinder.
We discuss these requirements during the assessment and explain how the proposed equipment would fit into your property.
How do air source heat pumps work?
Heat is extracted from the air and converted into usable heat for your house. Compared to the heat output for use in your house, a well-installed air source heat pump can produce four times the input energy. As a result, heat pumps can be incredibly energy-efficient and save you a significant amount of money on your heating bills.
Even when it's chilly outside, air-source heat pumps work effectively and can withstand temperatures as low as -15°C. If you're unsure about how much space is nedded for an air source heat pump, check out our handy guide over on our blog.

Types of Air Source Heat Pumps
Air-to-Air Heat Pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps extract heat from the outside air and transfer it inside to heat the air within your home. These systems are typically used for space heating and can also provide cooling during the summer months. Air-to-air heat pumps are ideal for homes without a wet central heating system, offering a straightforward installation process.
Air-to-Water Heat Pumps
Air-to-water heat pumps extract heat from the outside air and transfer it to water-based systems, such as underfloor heating or radiators. These systems can also be used to heat water for household use. Air-to-water heat pumps are versatile and can be easily integrated with existing central heating systems, making them a popular choice for a wide range of properties.
What are the benefits of an air source heat pump?
Cost efficiency
A well-designed heat pump can provide efficient heating, but its running costs depend on your property, electricity tariff, heating requirements and system settings.
The potential savings also depend on the heating system you are replacing. We discuss these factors as part of your project so you can assess the proposed installation with realistic expectations.
Correct sizing, suitable radiators or underfloor heating, and careful commissioning all contribute to how the system performs.
Renewable energy
Air source heat pumps are renewable energy systems that capture heat from the air and transfer it via underfloor heating systems or radiators as needed. A heat pump can save you hundreds of pounds in annual running costs with minimal disruption to your installation.
Versatility
Air-source heat pumps are versatile in terms of applications and installation options. You can install them in numerous property types, including single-family houses, multi-unit buildings, and commercial sites. A versatile heating option for various properties and heating needs, ASHPs can be used in both new construction projects and retrofit applications.
Dual Functionality
Many air source heat pumps offer dual functionality, providing both heating and cooling. To efficiently cool the interior during warmer months, ASHPs can reverse the heat transfer process, taking heat from inside the building and releasing it outside. Due to its dual functionality, homeowners can save money on equipment expenses and simplify maintenance and operation by eliminating the need for separate heating and cooling systems.
Low Maintenance Requirements
The maintenance needs of ASHPs are comparatively lower than those of typical heating systems. ASHPs are less likely to have mechanical failures and breakdowns due to their lack of combustion processes and fewer moving components, which lowers the need for expensive maintenance and repairs. Regular maintenance chores, such as filter cleaning and refrigerant level checks, are usually simple and may be handled by trained experts during yearly inspections.
Long Lifespan
With proper maintenance, air-source heat pumps can last up to 20 years or more. They are made to be strong and resilient. Throughout the system's lifetime, an ASHP investment offers homeowners peace of mind and a strong return on investment by ensuring dependable warmth and comfort for many years.
Enhanced Property Value
An air source heat pump installation may raise a home's value and make it more appealing to prospective purchasers. Properties with ASHPs are seen as more attractive and ecologically friendly, fetching higher prices and drawing in a larger pool of potential purchasers, as energy efficiency becomes a more essential consideration for homebuyers. Aside from that, houses with ASHPs might be eligible for energy efficiency incentives and certifications, which would increase their market value.
