All-electric heat-pump heating — Heat-pump installer
Explain which heating and hot-water functions the heat pump must replace and whether the existing fuel system will be removed. Provide building and system records so the designer can assess demand, emitters, hot-water storage and electrical capacity as one project rather than a like-for-like boiler swap.
Service scope
Design or installation of a heat-pump-led heating and hot-water arrangement without routine use of a fuel boiler in the defined system. All-electric describes the energy-source arrangement, not freedom from electricity use, supply constraints or the need to assess emitters, hot water and any auxiliary heating.
What is normally included
- Whole-heating transition assessment
- Heat-pump and hot-water system design
- Coordinated electrical and heating commissioning
What is not included
- Guaranteed off-grid operation
- Automatic suitability of existing radiators or cylinder
Typical tasks
- Establish the complete heating and hot-water demand
- Review existing distribution and emitters
- Define the all-electric system arrangement
- Coordinate removal and electrical interfaces
- Commission controls and household operation
What to include in your brief
- Existing fuel and heating system
- Building and insulation information
- Hot-water usage needs
- Emitter and cylinder details
- Electrical and equipment-location constraints
Choosing the right professional
Ask for a design that explains all components needed to meet the agreed demand, including hot water and any auxiliary functions. Compare enabling works and commissioning as well as the heat pump, and avoid assuming the all-electric label guarantees lower bills.
Important considerations
- Electrical supply or equipment-space constraints can affect feasibility
- Removing an existing heat source before readiness can interrupt essential services
