If you're a UK resident considering replacing your gas boiler with a heat pump, this guide will provide you with all the information you need to make the transition. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of replacing your gas boiler with a heat pump, the cost of installation, and the importance of finding an approved MCS heat pump installer.
Once the heat pump is installed, commissioned and signed-off, for many installers that’s it. Job done. Well here at Alto we like to do things a little bit differently. As far as we’re concerned, the installation of the heat pump is just the first chapter, and once we’ve put our name to a heat pump by commissioning it, we want to make sure that the homeowner is happy.
The developer’s own installers have installed the heating systems with the help of Alto Energy’s schematics, free heat pump training and unlimited telephone technical support. Once this is completed, all that needs to happen is for our commissioning engineer to come to site, check everything over, and sign it off!
Once a customer has decided to proceed with heat pumps, we need to make sure that the project is designed properly and fully MCS compliant. To do this, every single project we do is thoroughly reviewed by our Technical Director and Compliance Officer, to ensure that all the benefits of heat pumps are realised.
