Cleaner energy

By running on clean electricity instead of gas, your heat pump reduces carbon emissions and makes your home greener.

Quiet

Quieter

Your heat pump runs with a gentle hum, far quieter than the noisy flue of a gas or oil boiler.

A heat pump with EPC is as easy as 1-2-3.

How does a heat pump work?

Air source heat pumps work by using electricity to extract heat from the air outside. They amplify this heat and transfer it inside to provide heating and hot water for your home. Heat pumps are around 350% efficient - meaning they can provide three times more heat energy than they use.

Is a heat pump really more efficient than a new gas boiler?

Powered by electricity, heat pumps are 3.5x more efficient than gas boilers. Heat pumps operate quietly and offer year-round efficiency. This makes them ideal for homes in Essex and across the UK.

heat pumps are 3.5 x more efficient than a new gas boiler, and lower your carbon footprint.

Can a heat pump keep your home warm in winter?

Absolutely! Heat pumps efficiently heat your home, even during the coldest winter months. They work by extracting heat from the outside air and compressing it to generate warmth.

The beauty of heat pump technology is that it doesn’t rely on warm outside air. Even in freezing temperatures, a heat pump can absorb heat, keeping you and your family cosy. With a heat pump, you can enjoy reliable, energy-efficient heating in all weather.

Are heat pumps noisy?

Heat pumps do produce some noise, but modern systems are designed to be as quiet as possible. At EPC, our heat pump installations are MCS Certified. This ensures that they meet strict quality and noise standards.

Our installations are guaranteed to have a noise level of 45 decibels or less at a distance of 1 metre. That’s quieter than a typical fridge and only slightly louder than rustling leaves. Our expert installation and advanced heat pump models provide efficient, low-noise heating.

The Future of Heating: Gas boilers are being phased out

The UK is taking decisive action to reduce carbon emissions and achieve its goal of net-zero by 2050. As part of this commitment, gas boilers are being replaced by sustainable alternatives. From 2025, new build homes will no longer feature gas boilers. Instead, they will adopt eco-friendly heating solutions like heat pumps.

The sale of traditional gas boilers will also be banned by 2035. This will mark a seismic shift towards greener, more efficient technologies. Now is the time to explore renewable heating options that align with the UK’s sustainable vision. Choose EPC renewables to make the transition to a cleaner, energy-efficient heating system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

Have questions about heat pumps, solar panels, or our services? Check out our FAQs below for quick answers and helpful insights from the EPC team.

The Main Benefits of Switching to Renewable Energy
Switching to renewable energy solutions like heat pumps and solar panels offers several significant benefits. These include drastically reduced energy bills, a smaller carbon footprint, enhanced property value, and greater energy independence. By opting for sustainable systems, you’ll not only lower your reliance on fossil fuels but also contribute to a cleaner, greener future for your home and the planet.
Do Air Source Heat Pumps Make a Lot of Noise?
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) are engineered for quiet operation, making them ideal for residential use. While they generate some noise from their components, all heat pumps installed by EPC Improvements are MCS Certified, ensuring a maximum noise level of 45 decibels at 1 metre—quieter than a typical fridge and comparable to the sound of rustling leaves. With our expert installations, you can enjoy efficient heating without unnecessary noise.
Will My Heat Pump Work in Colder Temperatures During Winter?
Yes! Heat pumps are designed to perform efficiently even in freezing temperatures. They can extract heat from the air when it’s as cold as -10°C, providing consistent warmth and hot water throughout the coldest winter months. With an EPC-installed heat pump, you can trust your home will remain cosy no matter the weather.
Do Heat Pumps Work with Existing Radiators, Solar Panels, and Underfloor Heating?
Heat pumps are versatile and can integrate seamlessly with existing radiators and underfloor heating systems. Underfloor heating is particularly effective because it covers a larger area, allowing it to provide comfortable warmth at lower temperatures. Additionally, pairing your heat pump with solar photovoltaic (PV) panels can further reduce energy costs and minimise your carbon footprint, offering a comprehensive renewable energy solution for your home.
Where Does the Heat Pump Get Installed?
Your heat pump will be installed outside your property, typically at the side or rear to maintain your home’s aesthetic appeal. It will be placed on a sturdy, level surface such as a concrete base to ensure stability and optimal performance. For efficiency and regulatory compliance, the heat pump must also have sufficient airflow and be located at least 1 metre away from any property boundary.
Do I Need Planning Permission for a Heat Pump?
In most cases, installing an Air Source Heat Pump does not require planning permission, as it is considered permitted development under UK regulations. However, if your property is in a protected area or includes a wind turbine, additional permissions may be needed. To ensure compliance, always check with your local authority or consult the EPC Improvements team for guidance.
