eros_poli Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 We're at planning/building regs stage for an extension, and I'm hunting for a good installer for our heat pump. I won't go into too much detail on system design etc, but wanted to know if anyone had had a good or bad British Gas ASHP install? I've been reading up on Heat Geek certified installers, and seen some bad reviews for BG installs - however SOME say there are some great BG engineers out there who know what they're talking about. I'm not an expert, but the variety of information and recommendations I get when speaking to a handful of installers is concerning. Any advice welcome! I'm in Wiltshire, if that helps. So far I've narrowed down the install to a Cardiff based company, and a heat pump engineer based in Bristol. Thanks Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 It isn't really the fitting of heat pumps (or any wet heating system for that matter) that is the problem. It is the design of the system, and to be quite frank, you need to double check that yourself. So lots of reading up on them and local weather regimes.

Tom Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I approached BG to do ours, but they refused to do it as we had 3 phase at the property. Even though they would be wiring it up to a single phase consumer unit. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
