As many of you know, our Global Energy Systems heat pump is finally being replaced this summer.

Which has prompted a slightly less glamorous, but very real question… what do you actually do with an old heat pump when it’s come to the end of its life and died?

Ours has been sat there for nearly seven years, and while all the focus is usually on spec, performance and installation, nobody really talks about the exit strategy. Disposal, recycling, strip-out… who handles it, what it costs, what can be salvaged and what just gets scrapped.

So I thought it was worth opening this up as a thread.

If you’ve had a unit removed:

  • Who dealt with it — installer, manufacturer, or third party?
  • Was it recycled, scrapped, or refurbished?
  • Any costs or surprises?
  • Anything you’d do differently?

We’re working through our own plan now and I’ll share exactly what we end up doing once it’s sorted, but it’d be useful to gather some real-world experiences in the meantime to help others in similar situations.
