Heat Pump Installation FAQs

What is required to install an air source heat pump?

To install an air source heat pump, you’ll need an outdoor space with good airflow, like a garden or a wall area. Proper insulation in your home is important to improve efficiency. You might also need planning permission and some upgrades, such as new pipework or electrical work.  

Do air source heat pumps use a lot of electricity?

Air source heat pumps use electricity to operate, but they are designed to be highly efficient compared to traditional heating systems. While you may notice an increase in electricity usage, the overall energy savings and lower heating costs typically outweigh this.  

Can you get a grant for an air source heat pump?

Grants and financial incentives are often available to support the installation of air source heat pumps. For instance, schemes like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme in the UK provide funding to help reduce upfront costs. These incentives make it more affordable to switch to energy-efficient heating.  

Who installs an air source heat pump?

Qualified local air source heat pump engineers should complete the installation to ensure safe and efficient operation. We provide professional installation services tailored to your property, ensuring your heat pump operates effectively for years to come.  

Can you install a heat pump in a flat?

Yes, you can install a heat pump in a flat. However, it depends on factors like building regulations, available space, noise restrictions, and whether you need permission from the freeholder or local authority. 

Can I buy a heat pump and install it myself?

While it is possible to install a heat pump yourself, it’s generally recommended to use a certified professional to ensure safety, efficiency, and compliance with local regulations.

Metro plumb was contracted by Thames Water to back-flush our mains connection as we had no water. The contractor called when he was on his way, was polite and considerate. He carried out the task as requested. When this did not solve the problem, he continued to explore other possibilities with us until water supply was successfully restored. We are very grateful for his help and his problem solving approach and highly recommend this company based on this experience.

I can’t comment on the price as Thames Water requested they attend my property after a pipe burst. However the gentleman that came out to me was very nice friendly and polite. Talked me through what he was needing to do and when he left he left no mess! All in all very good first impression of the company

Had a problem due to a recent Thames Water burst pipe and they made a referral to this company. They were fab and came out the same day and sooner than the given estimated time frame. My problem was fixed super quick. Efficient and friendly service from the technician. I can't comment on the cost as it was covered by TW, but I'd happily use this company again. Thank you.

Really happy with the service! Bryan came out and, after the initial plunging didn’t work, he found the actual issue with the main water line and fixed it. He handled everything really well, and the water is now draining perfectly with no blockage. Great service and highly recommend Bryan! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Exceptional and selfless service! Kyle went above and beyond to help us during a tricky situation! Unbeknownst to us we had a damaged a pipe for years leading to a bedroom radiator, yoday ehile having some decorating done it was found and while waiting for the council to send someone to help, Kyle, who was working nearby, stepped in. He wasn’t obligated to assist as he wasn’t assigned to us, yet he kindly fixed the issue on the spot. His professionalism and empathy were outstanding, and he saved us a lot of stress. An absolute credit to his team! Please give him a payrise or promotion!!!!! He is an absolute asset to your team!!!!!! Kyle, thank you so much! If the world was made up of more people like you, it'd be a much nicer place to live!!!! Thank you!

We had a sudden loss of water into our house. Our usual plumbers had no idea what was happening. The water supply company said it was our problem. Metro Plumbing came three times and worked out that it wasn’t a dropped valve or anything and did blowback 7 times And eventually managed to Dislodge a 4 foot section of matted Tree root from inside our Water Main! There were sudden restoration of cold water through the mains pipe into the house. Honestly, without them, we would be stuck without water! They were all very pleasant and courteous and listened to the complex Story of all the previous investigations. We now need to work out where the Tree root got into the Main water supply, but that’s another matter! They came three times and spent many many hours so the price I paid in fact was incredibly reasonable
