HOW THE WARMVENT TEAM WORK
Advice & support for your air source heat pump installation
If you’re asking ‘where can I find expert air to air heat pump installers near me’ we have you covered. We will plan the installation and consider all of the potential implications.
For example the outdoor units become part of the ‘fabric’ of the building once installed and therefore fall under UK building regulations. Because of this, incorrect installation can cause you unwanted issues further on down the line. Rest assured we will advise you every step of the way.
THE AIR TO AIR HEAT PUMP INSTALLATION SURVEY
Site survey and consultation
We will arrange a convenient time that best suits you , so we can visit your property. Site surveys normally only take around 45 minutes, dependent on the requirements.
Prior to your home survey, you will want to gve some thought as to where you’d like to locate the units on the inside wall. The units are compact and so don’t take up much space but we need to make sure they are near power sources and pipework.
For the majority of our air to air heat pump installations, we use Panasonic or Daikin systems. However, if you have another system in mind, please let us know and we’ll give you our honest feedback on those units and whether they are suitable.
Once we have decided on the best solution for your home, we will begin planning the air source heat pump installation. We will leave you with a home climate that is comfortable, easy to manage and saves you money over time, and crucially adds value to your property.

Care and maintenance
Impressive air quality
Air quality is an increasingly important factor with our customers. There are additional options available on modern air to air heat pump units that include ionising and pollen filters that will help to create a comfortable environment all year round. To maintain this level, regular maintenance is essential from an expert engineer.
Ongoing maintenance
To ensure that your units continue to run efficiently, we offer an annual service plan that supports your warranty and will reduce the operational costs. Most air to air heat pump systems work well without too much maintenance for years. However, it is essential to keep the filters clean in order to maintain performance and overall efficiency.
Upgrades and replacements
As air to air heat pump units age, the operational efficiency slightly reduces. Refrigeration gases will always escape gradually from the system over time, regardless of the level of air to air heat pump installation and maintenance. We will advise you on the most suitable time to consider an upgrade for your system.
“To say we are pleased is an understatement having had the Winter with NO gas central heating on and a Summer with air conditioning is a blessing“
