Domestic Heat Pump Systems
What Are Heat Pumps (R32 & R290)?
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) capture heat from outdoor air and transfer it to your home for space heating and hot water — using much less energy than traditional boilers.
R32 Refrigerant
Many modern heat pumps, including Samsung models, use R32 refrigerant. It has a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) than older gases, helping reduce carbon emissions while delivering efficient performance and hot water up to ~65°C.
R290 is a natural hydrocarbon refrigerant with an extremely low GWP (around 3), making it one of the most environmentally friendly options available. It also supports high hot water temperatures (up to ~75°C), ideal for properties replacing traditional boilers without radiator upgrades.
Why We’re F‑Gas Qualified
We’re fully F‑Gas certified, meaning we are authorised and trained to handle, install, maintain, and service refrigerants safely and legally in the UK. This certification ensures your system is compliant with UK and EU safety and environmental standards.
Heat Pump Efficiency Levels Explained
Heat pumps are rated by efficiency — how much heat they produce compared to the electricity they use.
SCOP (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance): This indicates annual efficiency. A SCOP of 4 means 4 units of heat for 1 unit of electricity. Many modern Samsung units achieve SCOPs around 4.4–4.8+.
Higher SCOP ratings mean lower running costs and better performance year‑round.
Samsung Heat Pump Equipment — Why We Chose It
We install Samsung air source heat pumps because they are:
Highly efficient with strong SCOP performance.
Reliable and quiet, ideal for UK homes with noise limits in residential areas.
Smart controllable, compatible with monitoring apps for performance tracking.
Proven performance across a range of climates and temperature conditions.
Samsung models support both space heating and hot water, running efficiently even in sub‑zero temperatures.

Radiator Replacement & Upgrades
If your current radiators were designed for gas boilers, they may run at high temperatures (60–70°C). Heat pumps work most efficiently with lower water temperatures (35–45°C), so we offer radiator replacements or upgrades to optimise performance and comfort.
Replacing the Unvented Cylinder
We can also replace your unvented hot water cylinder with a heat pump‑compatible unit when needed — ensuring you get reliable hot water at the right temperatures with your new system.
UK Regulations We Comply With
To ensure safety, performance, and eligibility for government incentives, we comply with all required UK standards:
✔ WRAS Regulations
All products we install are WRAS approved, meaning they meet the UK Water Regulations Advisory Scheme standards for water safety and quality.
✔ MCS Certification
Our installations are MCS certified, which is required for government support schemes like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme and ensures top‑tier renewable performance.
✔ Unvented G3 Regulations
We install and connect unvented hot water systems to the required G3 standards, ensuring safe pressure controls and compliance with UK building regs.
SCOP Efficiency Ratings Defined
SCOP (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance) measures heat pump performance over a full year. Higher SCOP = more heat per unit of electricity. Leading heat pumps can exceed 4.4–4.8 SCOP depending on size and conditions.
Weather Compensation Controls
Modern heat pumps include weather compensation systems that automatically adjust heating output based on outdoor temperatures. This increases comfort and reduces energy use by adapting the flow temperature to match demand.
Heat Pump Servicing & Maintenance
Regular servicing improves efficiency, extends system life, and helps maintain warranty coverage. We offer scheduled maintenance visits, performance checks, refrigerant inspections, and control system updates.
Underfloor Heating Systems
Heat pumps pair exceptionally well with underfloor heating (UFH) because UFH works at lower water temperatures than traditional radiators — which maximises efficiency, comfort, and energy savings across the entire home.
