Stable comfort
A correctly designed system maintains warmth without relying on short bursts of very hot water.
A different rhythm of warmth · Understand the routes
Steady, low-temperature comfort
Heat pumps work differently from boilers and perform best when the home, heating, hot water and controls are designed as one system. Warmaway has worked with them since 2003.
A joined-up home
Heat pump, emitters, cylinder and controls are considered as one system.
Support beyond install day
Annual servicing and ongoing care remain with a team that understands the design.
Heat pump with existing emitters
Retain radiators that can deliver the required heat at the designed flow temperature. Only appropriate after the output has been checked room by room.
Heat pump plus radiator upgrades
Change selected emitters so rooms stay comfortable at lower water temperatures. A common route where the rest of the system is usable.
Whole-system renovation
Coordinate a heat pump with underfloor heating, a new cylinder and wider fabric work. Best planned early in a major renovation or extension.
Design for low-temperature comfort
Size the system around the home
Two similar houses can need different emitter changes, hot-water storage and controls. A room-by-room assessment turns a product conversation into a workable heating plan.
Is your home suitable?
Warmaway considers heat loss, insulation, emitters, hot water, outdoor-unit position and electrical supply. The answer is based on the property—not a generic online estimate.
The system around the heat pump
A successful installation may also involve radiator upgrades, underfloor heating, a cylinder or control changes. These are designed together and explained before work begins.
Support with current funding
Warmaway can explain the current Boiler Upgrade Scheme and confirm whether the proposed installation is likely to meet the relevant eligibility requirements. Funding rules can change, so they are checked at quotation stage.
Funding support
Upfront support for eligible low-carbon heating.
Warmaway checks the property, heating system and current scheme rules before you apply.
£7,500 — Standard BUS grant
Available for eligible air-to-water and ground-source heat-pump installations in England and Wales.
Up to £9,000 — Eligible off-gas homes
For qualifying oil- or LPG-heated properties without a mains-gas connection until 31 March 2027.
A property-led answer
Could a heat pump work in your home?
Age alone does not decide suitability. Heat loss, available emitter output, hot-water demand, outdoor space and how you want to use the home all matter more than a simple property label.
Often a good fit when...
- You want to move away from gas, oil, LPG or direct electric heating
- The property can maintain comfort at lower flow temperatures
- There is a practical outdoor-unit and cylinder location
- You are willing to understand a steadier style of heating
We still assess...
- Room-by-room heat loss and insulation
- Radiator or underfloor output at design temperature
- Cylinder space and household hot-water demand
- Outdoor placement, airflow, access and acoustic considerations
Heat-loss survey to handover
The work behind good heat-pump design
The question is not simply “which heat pump?”—it is “what system will this home need?”
Initial conversation
Tell us about the home, fuel and current heating.
Survey and heat loss
We assess suitability and calculate the property demand.
Design and proposal
Equipment, emitters, controls, funding and price are explained.
Install and support
The system is commissioned, handed over and serviced afterwards.
Designed before it is sold
The survey work behind a comfortable heat pump
A heat pump should not be sized from floor area alone. Warmaway assesses the full system and makes the proposed operating assumptions visible.
What we assess
- Room-by-room heat-loss calculation
- Radiator schedule or underfloor assessment
- Flow-temperature and weather-compensation strategy
- Hot-water cylinder and recovery requirement
- Electrical supply and equipment locations
- Current grant eligibility and MCS requirements
A complete project
What the project includes
- Property survey and heat-loss assessment
- Heat pump, cylinder, emitter and control design
- Clear proposal showing any enabling work
- MCS-certified installation and commissioning
- Weather-compensation and control setup
- Homeowner handover plus servicing options
Questions, answered simply
Everything you need to know before booking.
Will a heat pump work in an older home?
It can, depending on heat loss, insulation, emitter sizing and the temperatures the home needs. A property assessment is the right starting point.
Are air source heat pumps noisy?
Modern units are designed for residential use, but correct selection, positioning and installation are important for acoustic performance.
Can Warmaway service the system afterwards?
Yes. Annual servicing and ongoing maintenance plans are available.
Will I need larger radiators?
Some homes do and some do not. Each radiator should be checked against the room heat loss and proposed flow temperature rather than replaced automatically.
Will a heat pump cost less to run than my current system?
Running cost depends on system efficiency, electricity tariff, the fuel being replaced, heat demand and control. A responsible proposal explains assumptions without promising a universal saving.
