Farms and farmhouses
Replace oil or LPG heating in farmhouses, steadings and outbuildings. Large roof areas suit solar, and heat pumps cut fuel deliveries and tank refills.

Who it is for
Properties we help with
From farmhouses to community halls, the same principle applies: a heat loss survey first, then a written quotation you can compare.
Rural estates
Estate buildings with mixed use — cottages, workshops and offices — benefit from a zoned heat loss survey that sizes each space correctly.
Holiday lets
Guests expect reliable heat and hot water. A properly sized heat pump with a matched cylinder delivers both, with lower running costs than oil or LPG.
Hotels and hospitality
Hotels have high hot water demand and variable occupancy. A cascade heat pump system with a large cylinder and smart controls handles both efficiently.
Offices
Offices need heating around occupied hours, not all day. Zoning and weather compensation keep running costs down while maintaining comfort.
Schools
Schools and nurseries need consistent, safe heating. A heat pump with a design flow temperature matched to existing radiators minimises disruption.
Churches and community halls
High-cefted, intermittently used buildings are challenging but not impossible. A proper heat loss survey determines whether a heat pump can work cost-effectively.
Small industrial units
Workshops and light industrial units on oil or direct electric heating are strong candidates. The survey covers electrical supply capacity and unit positioning.
What we install
Heat pumps, hot water, solar and batteries
Every system is sized from a heat loss calculation, not floor area or the old boiler rating.
Air source heat pumps
Single units for smaller buildings, or cascade systems with multiple outdoor units for larger ones. Each is sized from a zone-by-zone heat loss calculation.
Cascade systems
Two or more heat pumps working together for buildings with high heat demand. Cascade controls rotate lead and lag units to extend lifespan and improve efficiency.
Hybrid heating
A heat pump paired with an existing boiler for buildings where a full replacement is not practical. The system uses the heat pump as the primary source and the boiler as backup.
Hot water
Commercial-grade cylinders sized to peak demand, whether that is a guest house at full occupancy or an office at morning start-up. The cylinder spec appears on every quotation.
Solar PV
Rooftop or ground-mount solar generates electricity the heat pump can use during the day, cutting running costs. The survey covers roof loadings, orientation and grid connection.
Battery storage
A battery stores cheap-rate or solar electricity for use when the heat pump is running hardest. The quotation specifies capacity, inverter sizing and how it integrates with your supply.
Running costs
How running costs work for a business
No two commercial properties have the same running costs. These are the factors that decide yours.
Building heat loss
The heat loss calculation sets the heat pump size and flow temperature. A well-insulated building needs less output and costs less to run.
Insulation
Insulation, draught-proofing and glazing all reduce heat demand. A survey identifies where improvements would lower running costs before a heat pump is sized.
Flow temperature
Lower flow temperatures mean lower running costs. The surveyor balances flow temperature against emitter capacity to find the most efficient operating point.
Current fuel
Replacing oil or LPG usually lowers running costs. Replacing mains gas is harder to justify on running costs alone. The quotation compares both using your own figures.
Electricity tariff
Your tariff sets the unit cost of running the heat pump. Time-of-use tariffs pair well with battery storage to shift consumption to cheaper periods.
Solar pairing
Solar PV generates electricity the heat pump can use, reducing the amount you buy from the grid. A battery extends that benefit into the evening and overnight.
How it works
The process for commercial and farm properties
01
Site survey and heat loss assessment
A surveyor visits your premises, measures heated areas, checks insulation and the existing heating plant, and assesses electrical supply and access. For farms, this includes roof area and orientation for solar.
02
Design and written quotation
From the survey data comes a written quotation with a zone-by-zone heat loss calculation, the recommended system specification, any infrastructure work needed, and an itemised price. The MCS number of the installation partner appears on every quote.
03
Installation through MCS-certified partners
The installation is carried out by an MCS-certified partner. Their name and certification number appear on your quotation and your MCS certificate. We coordinate the project so you deal with one point of contact.
04
Aftercare
After handover, the system is commissioned to its design flow temperature, weather compensation is configured, and you receive commissioning records, warranty registration and a handover pack. Annual servicing keeps the warranty valid.
Finance
Paying for your installation
Interest-free credit
Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. We can discuss options as part of your quotation, so you can see the full installation cost and any finance terms before you commit. The quotation always shows the total price separately from any finance arrangement.

FAQ
Questions about this page
Can a heat pump heat a farmhouse or steading?
Yes. A heat pump sized from a room-by-room heat loss calculation handles farmhouses, converted steadings and outbuildings. Replacing oil or LPG usually lowers running costs, and large roof areas can host solar to offset electricity use.
What is a cascade heat pump system?
A cascade system uses two or more heat pumps working together for buildings with high heat demand. The controls rotate which unit leads, extending lifespan and improving efficiency at part-load. It suits hotels, large offices and industrial units.
Can a heat pump replace oil or LPG for a business?
Yes, and running costs are often lower. The survey compares your current fuel costs against projected electricity costs using your own heat loss figures, not generic averages. Removing the oil tank and decommissioning the old boiler should be listed on the quotation.
Do I need planning permission for a commercial heat pump?
Commercial installations may need planning permission where domestic ones do not. Listed buildings, conservation areas and larger outdoor units all trigger checks. The survey identifies what applies to your site before any quotation is issued.
Is finance available for commercial installations?
Interest-free credit up to £30,000, subject to status. We can discuss options as part of your quotation. The total installation price is always shown separately from any finance arrangement.
