Consistent, comfortable temperatures improve productivity and employee satisfaction
Achieve minimum EPC 'C' rating required for commercial lettings
Offices experience significant temperature variation throughout the day as staff arrive, leave for meetings, or work from home. Heat pumps with smart controls automatically adjust output based on actual occupancy and external temperatures.
Our solution: We install programmable thermostats and occupancy sensors that reduce heating during quiet periods, delivering typical savings of 20-30% compared to constantly running systems.
Modern offices generate significant heat from computers, servers, printers, and screens. This creates uneven temperatures - often overheating in IT-heavy areas while other spaces feel cold.
Our solution: Reversible heat pumps provide cooling in summer and zones with high equipment loads, while heating perimeter offices. This eliminates the need for separate air conditioning systems.
Meeting rooms sit empty most of the day but need to heat up quickly when in use. Traditional systems waste energy keeping them warm all day "just in case."
Our solution: Zone-controlled heat pumps heat meeting rooms on-demand, reaching comfortable temperatures within 20-30 minutes while using minimal energy when not in use.
Office environments require quiet operation to avoid disturbing focused work, phone calls, and meetings.
Our solution: We install ultra-quiet indoor units (as low as 19dB - quieter than a whisper) and position outdoor units away from windows and sensitive areas with acoustic screening if needed.
| Office Size | Typical Heat Pump Size | Annual Savings* | Installation Cost** |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small (up to 500 sq ft) | 6-8 kW | £800-£1,200 | £8,000-£10,000 |
| Medium (500-1,500 sq ft) | 12-16 kW | £2,000-£3,500 | £12,000-£16,000 |
| Large (1,500-3,000 sq ft) | 20-30 kW | £4,000-£6,000 | £18,000-£25,000 |
| Multi-floor (3,000+ sq ft) | 40+ kW or multiple units | £7,000+ | £30,000+ |

Exact sizing depends on insulation levels, glazing type, ceiling height, occupancy, and IT equipment loads. Our free survey includes detailed heat loss calculations to ensure optimal system sizing for your office.
Yes, heat pumps are excellent for open-plan offices. We can install ducted systems that distribute heat evenly throughout large spaces, or multiple wall-mounted units for zone control. Modern systems handle spaces up to 10,000 sq ft with ease.
We minimize disruption by working around your schedule. Most installations take 2-5 days and we can work evenings or weekends if needed. The office remains operational throughout, with heating maintained via temporary solutions during switchover.
Often yes, but it depends on radiator sizing. Heat pumps work best with larger radiators or underfloor heating due to lower flow temperatures. We assess your existing system during the survey and may recommend upgrading some radiators for optimal efficiency.
Absolutely. We install multi-zone systems that allow independent temperature control for different areas. This is ideal for offices with varying uses (open workspace, meeting rooms, quiet areas) and prevents thermostat wars between staff!
Heat pumps typically last 20-25 years with proper maintenance - longer than gas boilers. Annual servicing costs £150-£250 and covers checking refrigerant, cleaning filters, and testing controls. We offer maintenance contracts with priority callout for business customers.
