What are heat pump projects?
A heat pump moves heat from the outside air (or ground or water) into your home rather than burning fuel. Air-source heat pumps are the most common choice for homes. Performance depends on the insulation of the building, the size of the system, the heat emitters such as radiators or underfloor heating and how the system is set up. A proper heat load calculation is the basis of a good installation.
Popular heat pump styles
Air-Source Heat Pumps
An outdoor unit that takes heat from the air to warm radiators or underfloor heating.
Heat Pumps with Underfloor Heating
Lower flow temperatures that suit underfloor systems and efficient heating.
Hybrid Heating Systems
A heat pump combined with an existing boiler for flexible, staged upgrades.
Hot Water Heat Pumps

FAQ
Heat Pump projects – questions & answers
Does a heat pump work in cold weather?
Yes. Modern air-source heat pumps are designed to work in cold climates, though their efficiency can drop in very low temperatures. Your installer will size the system for your local climate.
Do I need to replace my radiators?
Not always. Heat pumps run at lower flow temperatures, so existing radiators may need to be larger or upgraded in some homes. A heat load calculation shows what is needed.
Do I need to upgrade my insulation first?
Better insulation usually lowers running costs and helps the system work well. Your installer can recommend which measures to do first, and it is sometimes cheaper to improve insulation before the heat pump.
Does a heat pump need an electrical upgrade?
It can. The unit needs a suitable electrical supply, and an electrician will check whether your consumer unit and cable routes are adequate. This is part of the installation planning.
Can I plan a heat pump installation with AI?
CraftMe's AI room ideas focus on how rooms look, so they cannot size a heating system. Use them to plan the room layout if needed, and ask a certified heating installer for the heat load calculation and the system design.
