They arrive on time, are polite, super clean & tidy in their work & cleaning up afterwards.
Spectacularly good work was carried out by them both.
They clearly take pride in the quality of work they do & their cleanliness in people’s home, which is sadly lacking for most tradespeople today who just don’t care how shoddy their work is or have no respect for people’s property.”

Heat pumps can be up to three times more efficient than gas boilers. What does this mean for you? Our heat pump installers will give you more heat for less energy and less money.

We’ve answered some of the most commonly asked questions about heat pumps and heat pump grants here, but please speak to the team if you have any more.
Definitely! Heat pumps are a smart choice if you want to save on energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint. They’re great at providing heating and cooling all year long and can help you save in the long run – especially as energy costs keep going up. Plus, they’re much better for the environment compared to traditional systems.
The cost of a heat pump in the UK can range from £10,000 to £15,000, depending on the type of heat pump you install and the size of your home. Heat pump grants are available via the government’s ECO4 scheme – give us a call to see if you’re eligible.
A heat pump should be installed by a certified HVAC technician or a professional installer with specific training and certification in heat pump systems. Our team is fully qualified and backed by years of experience – book your heat pump installation with us today.
Absolutely! Both air source and ground source heat pumps are built to handle cold weather, even freezing temperatures. No matter the time of year, you can keep your home warm and enjoy the cheap energy they produce.
Heat pumps can be better than some traditional central heating systems, like gas boilers. This is because they are very energy efficient and tend to have lower running costs. If you’re not sure which heating solution is the best for your property, just give our team a call.
Typically, a plumber alone may not be fully qualified to install a heat pump, as the process requires specific refrigeration and electrical systems knowledge. At Grant Store, we are fully qualified and have years of experience to back us up – give us a call today; we’re a team you can count on.
Houses with poor insulation, significant air leaks, or those relying on high-temperature heating systems (like some radiators) may not be suitable for heat pumps. Heat pumps work best in well-insulated and airtight homes designed for low-temperature heating. Give us a call, and we can check to see if your home is right for a heat pump installation.
The process of installing a heat pump depends on which type you go for. Generally, though, it kicks off with a property assessment to figure out the best system for your home.
Once you’re happy with the plan, our team will handle the installation of both the indoor and outdoor units, connect everything, and set up the controls. It’s a smooth process that can take as little as a few days, depending on your home.
And don’t worry – we’ll walk you through how to use and look after your new system once it’s up and running.
Not at all. While the outdoor unit might make a soft hum, it’s not something that would disturb you. In fact, most people say they’re more likely to notice the noise of traffic outside their home than a heat pump. Modern systems are designed with noise reduction in mind, making them perfect for homes in quieter areas.
