Frequently asked questions
Commercial air source heat pumps typically deliver 300–400% efficiency, meaning they produce 3–4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used — compared to close to 1:1 for a gas boiler. Actual savings depend on your current heating fuel, building fabric, and how the system is sized.
Payback varies more than for other retrofit measures, since it depends on the fuel being replaced, building heat loss, and any available grant funding. Buildings currently on oil or direct electric heating tend to see the fastest returns; buildings already on mains gas typically see longer paybacks unless carbon or compliance costs are factored in.
Switching from a fossil-fuel heating system to a heat pump is one of the most effective single interventions for EPC rating, since it reduces both energy cost and carbon emissions factors in the calculation. The exact improvement depends on the building's starting point and fabric performance, but heating is typically the largest single contributor to a poor rating.
Yes. Because heat pumps reduce both energy intensity and carbon emissions, they contribute directly to meeting Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards. For landlords with fossil-fuel-heated assets at risk of falling below the EPC threshold, a heat pump is often the highest-impact measure available.
Yes. Heat pump projects can be structured through CapEx, Hire Purchase, or Supplier Lease arrangements. Because heat pumps are a larger capital outlay than other retrofit measures, matching the right finance route to your cash flow and ownership goals matters more — CQuel helps you source and compare financing options alongside the installation tender.
CQuel builds a detailed brief based on your building's heat loss survey, existing distribution system, and site constraints, then issues it to pre-vetted heat pump installers in its supplier network. You receive standardised, comparable bids covering system sizing, pricing, warranties, and timelines — typically within a few weeks rather than months.
