Air source heat pumps

Making the decision to get a heat pump is an important one, and we can help you navigate a way to the right system for your home.

Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating is not only an efficient way to heat your home, it is a great way to save space. These systems work very well with heat pumps.

Hot Water Services

After a heat loss calculation has been conducted at your property, we can work together to come up with the perfect solution for your space.

BOILERS

Choosing the right boiler is crucial, Viessmann and Vaillant are stand out manufacturers to us for their innovation, reliability, and energy efficiency.

AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS

Installing an air source heat pump is a big decision, and choosing the right heat pump for your home is key. This is something that can be talked about after our initial consultation, which will include a site visit, a heat loss calculation, and understanding what your requirements are fully.

If you have government backing, you can still be looking to spend anything from £4k to £10k+, and if properly installed, will be an investment to your property.

These systems work by extracting heat from the outdoor air, even in cold temperatures, and condensing it to provide warmth. They often deliver three to four times more heating energy to a home than the electrical energy they consume, making them 300-400%  more efficient than traditional heating systems. This efficiency  translates into savings on utility bills over time.

Underfloor heating

Underfloor heating can provide an even distribution of warmth throughout your home. It operates at a lower temperature than traditional radiators reducing heating costs.

Additionally, it frees up space and enhances interior design flexibility. Underfloor heating works effectively with air source heat pump installations, by distributing warmth evenly and consistently throughout living spaces, resulting in optimal comfort.

Heat loss calculation

Before considering any changes to your heating system the first step is to conduct a heat loss calculation.

These figures are crucial for determining the appropriate heat pump/boiler size, to ensure the property’s heat requirements are met. Additionally, the calculation provides insights into radiator sizing for each room; often, existing radiators may already suffice.

Heat loss calculations work out the energy needed to maintain room temperature, draughtier houses requiring greater energy consumption. Once the heat loss calculation is completed, it dictates the size of the required heat pump or gas boiler for effective heating.

It’s essential to ensure that the boiler’s energy output matches the property’s maximum heat loss, to optimize efficiency.

Hot water services

We offer a comprehensive hot water design service, to ensure your system can meet all your hot water needs.

With PDHW ( Priority Direct Hot Water) we ensure that your boiler dedicates its full power to replenishing the hot water in the cylinder. By shifting focus to hot water over space heating, PDHW speeds up the recovery process for your hot water system, providing you with a smarter, more responsive solution that  means you can enjoy a consistent supply of hot water. 

Our Ethos / about us

At Findlay Heating our ethos is deeply intwined with our family foundation, emphasizing trust, care, and commitment to high quality workmanship. We are a family run business, not only as husband-and-wife owners who have worked in the industry for 25+ years; our son is training to become a fully qualified engineer, and one of our daughters works in the office.

For us it’s not just about business, it’s about responsibility, and endeavouring to do the best for people.

We understand the importance of reducing our carbon footprint and actively seek to promote a greener future by installing sustainable heating systems. Through continuous education and adopting the latest technologies we strive to offer our clients the most efficient heating solutions available.

Findlay Heating is Gas Safe registered, and  Heat Geek assured.

Flame Free Installations

We use WRAS (water regulations advisory scheme) approved copper and MLCP (Multi Layer Composite Pipe) with press-fit, and unlike conventional push-fit systems, offers a more reliable install.

We have found that these systems demonstrate a remarkable resilience against rodent damage, an often-overlooked advantage, that extends the integrity and longevity of our installations.

Reviews

Ed, Debs and Charlie were fantastic. They installed a new boiler for my elderly Dad and arrived quickly after we called them and were really good value. They were also lovely to be around and very understanding of my Dad’s needs.

Findlay Heating is a brilliant family run business. We are very happy with the work they have done for us: modernising our heating system to an air source heat pump, new hot water cylinder, underfloor heating and all the rest.

Their work is first class and they are passionate and knowledgeable about their trade and the future of heating.

Ed, Debs and Charlie are great communicators, tidy, punctual and hardworking, and simply lovely people to have around on a project!

Findlay Heating have provided an excellent service over many years. This has included all aspects of heating system installation and repair, where needed, both for my construction company in the new houses we build, and in my own Listed home. Ed Findlay has always been polite, helpful and knowledgable about the sophisticated systems involved in green energy installations.
A very good company.

This family team are splendid and dedicated. They replaced a number of our radiators and serviced our boiler and flame effect gas fire.

One Sunday later the big freeze struck and our system packed up. (Nothing to do with their installation) Despite a number of other calls they were with us in less than an hour! An hour later all was well.

This team very much has it’s eye on the future in heating. They are amazing!
