Essential Knowledge for Kent Homeowners
Switching from a gas or oil boiler to a heat pump is an important decision. There is a lot of misinformation online regarding running costs, freezing weather performance, and radiator sizes. Our Advice Hub separates engineering facts from myths.
settings_suggest Key Things You Need to Know:
- verifiedFlow temperature is everything: Lowering flow temperature from 60°C to 40°C increases efficiency by 40%.
- verifiedSmart tariffs make heat pumps cheaper than gas: Running your heat pump during off-peak windows reduces running costs dramatically.
- verifiedInsulation helps, but lack of cavity insulation does not prevent a heat pump from keeping you warm.
- verifiedWeather compensation keeps your home at a steady, uninterrupted comfort temperature day and night.

Lifetime Local SupportFrequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about engineering standards, grants, and living with renewable systems in Kent.
help Will a heat pump work in an older uninsulated Kent house?
Yes! Provided the heat pump is sized to match the property's heat loss, it will easily keep your home warm. We have installed systems in 200-year-old stone and timber cottages across Kent.
help How do heat pump running costs compare to oil or LPG?
Because oil and LPG are expensive fuels, heat pumps routinely cut annual heating bills by 35% to 50% when replacing oil or LPG.
help Can I run a heat pump on standard electricity tariffs?
Yes, but switching to a dedicated heat pump tariff (such as Octopus Cosy, British Gas Heat Pump Tariff, or OVO Heat Pump Plus) yields substantial additional bill savings.
help Do I need to bleed heat pump radiators?
Heat pump systems are closed, sealed circuits with automatic air de-aerators, meaning radiators rarely if ever require manual bleeding.
