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.

How it works in Newcastle upon Tyne

  1. Heat loss survey

    We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer.

  2. Design

    Units are chosen for their heating output at low outdoor temperatures, not just their cooling rating.

  3. Install

    Outdoor units go where defrost water can drain safely and air flow is not restricted. In Newcastle upon Tyne we agree timings around your opening hours.

  4. Set controls

    Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.

Local points to consider

Defrost water

Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.

Roof and height work

Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.

Winter output

Heating output falls as it gets colder outside, so we size against winter design temperatures.

Shared buildings

In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.

Typical premises in Newcastle upon Tyne

  • Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
  • Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.

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).

Can air conditioning really heat a building?

Yes. Reverse-cycle air conditioning is a heat pump. Sized for heating, it can be the main heat source for many commercial premises.

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.
