Heat Pump Installation Sampford Peverell: One Village, Two Fuels
Cross the bridge in Sampford Peverell and the fuel underfoot can change, mains gas on one side, oil on the other. Heat pump installation Sampford Peverell starts with a room-by-room survey of your property, the grant deducted upfront, so you know which one is yours.
James and the team provided a first rate end to end service, our old oil boiler failed on Good Friday and within 3/4 weeks we were up and running with a new energy efficient air source heating system. Totally recommend Eco Pro Renewables Ltd to anyone who asks

What your Sampford Peverell installation includes
A heat pump that disappoints its owner is nearly always one specified in a hurry. Every Sampford Peverell installation we quote covers:
- The heat loss survey and design. Wall type, glazing and room use, recorded one room at a time, giving a kilowatt figure that belongs to your address alone.
- The heat pump and a matched cylinder. A unit outside chosen against the heat loss figures, a heat-pump-specific cylinder inside, sized against real hot water use.
- Radiator changes where the numbers ask for them. A cob cottage on Lower Town can need two or three upgraded emitters, a newer semi none.
- Pipework, electrics and the outdoor base. Settled on the survey visit, unit position fixed by the MCS sound calculation.
- Commissioning and optimisation. Flow temperature set against the design figure, hot water timing agreed with you.
- The grant application. Filing the claim is our job, and the award comes off before invoicing.
- Handover and aftercare. A plain English run through the controls, then the same number to ring for the first service.
Underfloor heating sits inside the same scope, running happily at the low flow temperatures these systems produce.

Why Sampford Peverell homeowners choose us
Sampford Peverell runs two different fuels side by side, and a canal straight through the middle of the village won’t tell you which one’s on your street. Neither will the cheapest quote. The installer who still answers two winters later will.
The owner runs your job.
- Aftercare comes back to James, who carried your job from the survey visit through design and commissioning to handover.
- Nobody shuffles you between departments; you ring the man who designed the system. See our about page.

The kit we fit in Sampford Peverell, and why
For the typical off-grid home the measured heat loss gives the size of unit, and the room figures show which radiators can stay as they are.
We choose the cylinder for your home, as we do the heat pump, and it usually arrives pre-plumbed with its valves and stats fitted.
We fit weather-compensating controls where they add value, and set them up at commissioning.
We aren’t tied to one make of heat pump, so the unit outside is whichever suits the property, often an Ideal, and the cylinder usually turns up already plumbed, filter, diverter valve, cylinder stat and overheat cut-out fitted.
Ideal builds in the UK, so spares move fast, and the factory-fitted cylinder saves a day in a Lower Town cottage whose airing cupboard predates it by centuries. Four to ten kilowatts covers most properties on either side of the canal.

Exmouth
A 1930s six-bedroom home with 34 windows
The owners doubted a heat pump could heat an older, larger property. A detailed design running at a low 47 degrees, with seven radiators upgraded and the rest kept, proved it could, comfortably.
West Hill · Ottery St Mary
The job three installers said could not be done
The owners wanted their hot water cylinder relocated to the garage. Three previous companies refused. We redesigned the pipework and did it, on a 311m² home with uninsulated floors.
Newton Abbot
A period home others had written off
We redesigned and re-piped the entire heating system for low-temperature running, and added radiators to rooms that never had them. “Too old” is usually a design problem, not a dead end.
We install across East Devon and Mid Devon, including Sampford Peverell, Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth, Ottery St Mary, Woodbury, Lympstone, Newton Poppleford, West Hill and Honiton. Up the Batherm valley, air source heat pumps in Bampton replace oil and electric heating rather than a gas boiler.
Street, Somerset: three installers, three different answers. We designed it correctly.
Before calling us, this homeowner had already had two national installers and another company out, and been handed completely conflicting advice, one proposing an oversized 16kW system, another saying the property was not suitable for a heat pump at all. Our room-by-room heat loss survey showed the home was suitable, but nowhere near the 16kW that had been quoted. We sized it correctly, upgraded only the radiators that genuinely needed it, and fitted an Ideal Logic Air matched to the actual heat loss rather than the quote sheet.
What Sampford Peverell callers ask before they book
That comes down to the property’s size and its radiators, which is why every Sampford Peverell enquiry opens with a free home assessment rather than a price list.
Book my free home assessmentUsually, yes, once it’s designed for the wall rather than guessed at. A cob or stone Sampford Peverell cottage gives back heat on a different rhythm to a newer semi nearby. We measure before we choose any kit, and don’t walk away from older properties.
Book my free home assessmentThe Boiler Upgrade Scheme pays £7,500 once a fossil fuel system comes out, or £9,000 off the gas grid on oil or LPG, by 31 March 2027. Some Sampford Peverell streets are on the mains, others aren’t; we confirm which at the free assessment.
