FAQs
How much can I save on energy bills by replacing my old HVAC system in Bristol?
On average, homeowners in Bristol who replace a 10–15-year-old system with a modern high-efficiency heat pump or gas furnace/air-conditioner combo see energy-cost reductions of 20–40 %. Because Bristol experiences both cool, damp winters and warm, humid summers, an efficient, properly sized unit can trim annual utility expenses by £250–£550, depending on property size and usage habits.
What efficiency ratings should I look for to maximise long-term savings?
For cooling, choose units with a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of 16 or higher; for heating, aim for a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) of 9+ for heat pumps or an Annual Fuel Utilisation Efficiency (AFUE) of 95 % or above for gas furnaces. These ratings meet or exceed current UK Building Regulations (Part L) and qualify for most manufacturer rebates, guaranteeing lower running costs throughout the system’s 15- to 20-year lifespan.
Are there any local incentives or rebates available in Bristol for HVAC replacements?
Yes. Under the UK Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), eligible Bristol homeowners can receive up to £5,000 toward an air-source heat pump or £6,000 for a ground-source unit. In addition, many energy suppliers offer time-limited cashback or 0 % financing for A-rated systems. Our team handles all paperwork, ensures MCS certification, and deducts approved incentives directly from your final invoice to reduce out-of-pocket expense.
How long will a new HVAC system last, and what warranty protection do I get?
Modern, quality HVAC units typically last 15–20 years when installed correctly and maintained annually. We partner with leading brands that provide 10-year parts warranties and optional extended labour coverage. Registering the product within 30 days of installation and scheduling yearly servicing preserves full warranty rights and keeps your equipment running at peak efficiency.
How do I know what size (capacity) HVAC system my Bristol home needs?
Correct sizing is critical for comfort and savings. We perform a Room-by-Room Heat Loss & Gain Calculation conforming to CIBSE Guide A. This method factors in Bristol’s climate data, insulation levels, window orientation, air-infiltration rates, and occupancy patterns. The result is a bespoke load report that determines the precise kilowatt (kW) capacity required, preventing the costly issues of oversizing (short cycling, higher bills) or undersizing (poor comfort, premature wear).
What financing options are available for Bristol homeowners who want to replace their HVAC system?
To make efficiency upgrades affordable, we offer interest-free financing for up to 24 months or low-APR plans spread over 5–10 years, subject to credit approval. Payments often align with—or are less than—the monthly energy savings, meaning you can upgrade with no net increase in household expenses. We also accept the Bristol City Council’s Home Energy Loan and will guide you through the application process.
