We're considering installing an air source heat pump. The installer is putting together a quote and will be getting back to us.
We found him via 'Which' trusted traders - a scheme I trust vastly more than Check a trade and the like.
Which do proper vetting and inspect a random job carried out by the builder. You can't put in a fake review.
We're also removing our fireplace as part of the process - you can lose a lot of heat up a chimney - and for a heat pump to be cost effective you have to have really good insulation (which we do have) and minimal heat loss though chimneys, etc.
The fireplace was long overdue for removal. Hasn't had a fire for at least 38 years....
We've been using the Federation of Master Builders website and also the Government Trustmark site. Both of involve actual vetting.
