Air source heat pump installation in Solihull and Birmingham
Solihull and Birmingham have a broad mix of homes, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to 1930s semis and post-war estates. Older solid-wall and early cavity-wall homes can run a heat pump well, but they usually need more attention to radiator sizes and insulation than a newer build, which is why the design for a Solihull and Birmingham home starts from a room-by-room heat loss calculation, not its floor area.
What the survey checks
We calculate heat loss room by room, check every radiator against the lower flow temperatures a heat pump runs at, and find a place for the outdoor unit and the hot water cylinder. As our home base, Solihull and Birmingham gets same-week surveys for most enquiries.
