Frequently asked questions
Q: I suspect renewable heat is a good fit for my business. When should I start to plan my transition to heat pumps?
A: Today! Heat pumps are a sophisticated, potentially-transformative technology and as such an installation can’t be planned over a few days or even a few weeks. It’s best to start planning early so you are ready to go as soon as possible - particularly if your existing boiler dies sooner than expected. The shift is happening in factories, plants and facilities like yours - right now.
Q: Do I have to replace a boiler with the same capacity heat pump?
A: No. Generally you don’t need a heat pump with the same capacity as the boiler it is replacing. Understanding your heat needs and reducing your heat demands will bring down the size of the heat pump needed again, thereby improving the cost comparison. Engineering leaders are choosing heat pumps because the maths finally stacks up.
Q: Do I have to replace everything at once? Can I do it incrementally?
A: Many businesses find installing a hybrid heat pump system - installing a heat pump while keeping one or more of your boilers as back-up - can be a good way to start your heat pump transition, particularly if there are concerns in your business about how the heat pump will perform.
