Looking for a heat pump installer in the Daventry/Northamptonshire area
Hi everyone , this is the problem everyone is having, the heat pump industry is rapidly expanding and its winter, both mean the good installers are really busy. That and the fact the government grant is halving in April means it super busy out there in heat pump land.
i will try and find you an installer in the area, bear with, but mr google is the best place to look.

Many thanks for your comments and agree on the situation but i have been trying to find an installer for many months now and have searched a lot of web sites and even asked at local plumbers merchants for contacts and recommendations
Even this has not proved successful
so if i only mange to get one quote how do you quantify this
again thanks for all the comments Keith

Have you tried Bright Green Renewable from Daventry? They have done a lot of work in our village (Barby)
We didn't use them but several friends did and were very happy.
Hi all who read this just for your amusement or frustration
I have just had someone come and view our property to asses for a air source heat pump
The funny thing is they will install the heat pump and new tank but wont change any pipe work to radiators or any radiators as their installer doesn't like doing pipe work
So i asked how does this affect the Warranty and they advise they will do flow tests and as long as these are ok they don't see any issues
It will be interesting to see your views on this as i said at the start amusement or frustration on a Friday
Have a good laugh and a good weekend to those who already have heat pumps
Keith
in most cases you dont need to change pipework but its highly likely the rads would need some attention. The heat loss room by room from MCS will confirm this, i would ask to see the data before signing on the dotted line.

@keithh I didn't change a single radiator or any pipework - except the bits around the tank etc. If you want to see if they are suitable I would recommend setting your normal heating gas temp to something like 55 or 50 degrees. This will simulate the warmest a heat pump might run.
Many thanks for the responses sorry should have said that half our radiators still have micro bore pipe to them so know we need to change this to get the better flow rate around our system
@keithh interestingly I have microbore upstairs and it's the warmest place in the house. But it's super insulated, so maybe it's not that applicable?!

Interesting did your installer not say anything about the micro bore piping and flow rates when they installed the system
Is the micro bore on a separate circuit or have a pup just for this circuit
is the Micro bore into manifolds of the 15mm or 22 mm pipes
Thanks again Keith
@keithh it didn't come up. However our upstairs is crazy in terms of insulation. It's 300mm solid between the walls, then 50mm on the outside plus 400mm in the roof. It's brand new SIPs, so it came preinsulated.
We have a separate zone for upstairs not sure on the pipe bore or manifolds. I'd have to go measure. Frankly it's no issue for us. It's always very warm upstairs
