Air & Ground Source Heat Pumps
Heat pumps work by converting large amounts of low grade heat (in the environment or the ground) into small amounts of high grade heat. This high grade heat energy is then transferred into the water for circulation around radiators and can also produce hot water for bathing.
Heating our homes, especially in the winter, is an essential but costly element of living in the UK. With over three quarters of the carbon emissions from homes resulting from heating, it is more important than ever to improve these systems we rely on so heavily, in the interest of both reducing the costs of rising utility bills and cutting down our carbon footprint.
Heat Pumps technology is very clean, (no oil, gas or LPG) very safe, (no combustion) and very reliable. The vast majority of heat pump energy is free, making running costs comparable with gas central heating. Heat pumps can increase the EPC rating (Energy Performance Certificate) and the SAP rating (Standard Assessment Procedure) of the property increasing revenue funding streams.
We offer installation of both air (ASHP) and ground (GSHP) source heat pumps, both have their own benefits and drawbacks. Essentially, GSHPs are more efficient and have a longer lifespan but require more extensive installation and more outdoor space. ASHPs are easier to install, more compact, but have lower efficiency and a shorter lifespan. The choice between the two depends on factors such as climate, available space, and budget.

I would like to acknowledge and thank all at LCX for your work to close-out on this project – no doubt we can discuss in person soon but I do recognise what an effort the last 12 months has been and the amazing results achieved. Thank you.
Resident Feedback
The engineers were very friendly and welcoming, they came across very professional as well as approachable. I have requested either Lee or Matt to come back next time, I feel like I can trust them in my home.

We are delighted with our new heating system. We are also reaping the benefits on the recently installed solar panels. It is clear that the solar power and extra installation is lowering the daytime electricity costs. The project carried out by LCX was done with confidence and competence. All workmen involved were efficient and pleasant. In particular, we would like to thank those in charge for their kindness and patience.

I called in to book a service for my Heat Pump, Kirsten (LCX Engineer) was a really lovely lady the last time so I asked for her to re-attend. I suffer with anxiety and Kirsten made me feel really at ease, I really enjoyed having a chat with her while she did the service.

I can not speak highly enough of Robin (LCX Engineer), he was amazing. He really took his time to diagnose, repair, and I’m delighted that he is booked back in to fit a combi valve to the unvented cylinder.
Resident Feedback
Thanks to the whole company. From the jolly woman who booked the appointments over the phone to the engineers who came to service the brand new heat pump system & install the filter. Simon really does explain things in simple terms making the operation of a very new & complex system easy to use.
