An air-to-air heat pump takes heat from the outside air and releases it indoors as warm air — the same equipment as reverse-cycle air conditioning, sized and set up for heating.
Covering Bristol and nearby
We cover all of Bristol, from the centre to the business parks and industrial estates on its edges. Wherever your premises are, the survey, quote and installation follow the same steps.
Postcode districts we cover include BS0, BS2, BS4, BS6, BS9, BS11, BS16 and BS99. Buildings across Bristol range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What we do
- Units selected for low-temperature heating output
- Outdoor units positioned for air flow and defrost drainage
- Controls with schedules and set-back temperatures
- Commissioning and handover
- Running-cost guidance against your current heating

How we work in Bristol
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer.
Design
Units are chosen for their heating output at low outdoor temperatures, not just their cooling rating.
Install
Outdoor units go where defrost water can drain safely and air flow is not restricted. In Bristol we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Local points to consider
Winter output
Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Bristol often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Working hours
Most Bristol businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Typical premises in Bristol
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
Your questions answered
How much does an air-to-air heat pump cost in Bristol?
Guide prices in Bristol run from about £1,695 to £4,095 per zone, plus VAT. A typical job (shop or office heated and cooled by 2–4 units) costs £4,650–£14,050 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Is it cheaper than electric heaters?
In most cases, yes. A heat pump delivers several kWh of heat per kWh of electricity, while panel heaters deliver one. Actual savings depend on the system, building and tariff.
Do outdoor units ice up?
They frost in cold, damp weather and run short defrost cycles automatically. Drainage is planned so the water does not freeze on a path.
