What do we do? We supply and install energy efficient heating systems to save you money and reduce your carbon emissions. We specialise in the design, supply, installation and maintenance of heat pump systems. We create heating systems suited to your individual needs. Our design ensures you gain maximum benefit from the Government Boiler Replacement Incentive scheme which pays £5,000 towards your installation . Heat Pumps are renewable energy heating systems, they collect heat from outside and concentrate it so you can use it to heat your hot water and your radiators.
With the current state of the energy market, making the switch to a heat pump makes alot more sense. If you have a house with an annual energy use of 20,000kWh. A new gas boiler would be opperating at 92% efficiency. If we take a heat pump with a SCoP of 3.91. With the April 1st energy prices, under the price cap it will cost £1,680 on mains gas and £1,533.91 for a heat pump.
As well as designing and installing your heat pump system we can guide you through the administrative work relating to the Boiler Replacement Incentive scheme. At Heat Collector we pride ourselves on being attentive and innovative. Heat Collector Ltd are Business Solutions Providers for Mitsubishi offering 5-year manufacture backed warranty.
Due to unprecedented demand, and the huge increase in the self build community, we have developed a new for 2022, plug and play heat pump manifold. It comes equipped with all pipe work and pumps, 1 or 2 zones, filters etc. The wiring for Mitsubishi or Samsung heat pump controls is pre installed and set up to your specifications.

Heat pumps are used to replace boilers in central heating systems. They absorb heat from the environment which can be used to heat radiators, under floor heating or warm air convectors. It can also be used to provide hot water for your home or business. Heat pumps use conventional refrigeration technology to extract the sun’s heat stored in the air or the ground around the outside of your premises and raise it to a temperature suitable for heating purposes. This principle works even in the middle of winter with outside temperatures as low as -15°C. Heat pumps use about a quarter of the amount of energy than other forms of heating because they collect heat that’s already there and concentrate it, increasing the temperature so it can be used. That’s why it is called renewable energy.
A rough guide would be, £1,300 for each kW of power required to heat your home. Costs vary
depending on the size of your home, how well insulated it is and how long ago it was built. For a 3
bedroom house built since 1960 it would probably cost around £11,000 for an air source heat pump
and £14,000 for a ground source heat pump plus around £3,500 for the installation. Then you need a
special hot water tank and perhaps additional radiators, possibly another £3,000 to £5000. If you
chose a ground source heat pump it will cost extra to bury the pipes outside, say another £5,000 to
£15,000. Although this is expensive compared to a traditional boiler, a well designed heat pump
installation can save on your heating bills.
The government will provide grants to encourage property owners to install low carbon heating systems such as heat pumps, through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). These grants will help property owners overcome the upfront cost of low carbon heating technologies. The scheme will be open to domestic and small non-domestic properties in England and Wales. It will run from 2022 to 2025.
Yes! Renewable technologies aren’t the future they are here today
