Local installers, national support
Heat Geek installers are trained, verified, vetted and monitored. You work with a local installer, backed by a wider technical network.
Equipment chosen for the design
We select the heat pump, cylinder, emitters and controls after calculating what your home needs, rather than forcing every property into one package.
AI-supported design
Our engineers use Heat Geek design tools to compare options and find the right balance between installation cost, comfort and ongoing savings.

The final sticker is a small detail, but it points to the bigger promise behind the job: careful design, proper commissioning and a system that is backed after installation.
Liam the Heat Geek
I’ll look after the key Heat Geek stages myself
Hi, I’m Liam, owner of Vector Heat. I have spent 23 years in plumbing and heating, including 14 years surveying boilers and heat pumps and 6 years designing and installing heat pumps. Heat pumps are where the maths really matters, so I personally carry out the heat-loss survey and system design.
If you book through the Heat Geek link on this page, I’ll come out to survey the property, scan the rooms and talk through what you want from the system. I also oversee the installation, then carry out the commissioning and handover so the system is set up properly before we leave you with it.
After installation, local support continues through Vector Heat’s heat pump servicing and maintenance.
Design-led installation
Our Heat Geek heat pump installation process
Click each step to see what happens and why it matters.
1. Initial enquiry and instant estimate
Use the Heat Geek estimate tool above. If you decide to continue, payment for the design consultation is taken securely by Heat Geek.
2. Home survey and heat-loss calculation
Liam will contact you to book a room-by-room heat-loss survey. This includes scanning the property with Heat Geek LiDAR tools and checking the existing heating system.
3. ZeroDisrupt compares the system options
ZeroDisrupt uses your survey data and monitored system data to compare suitable designs. Liam then checks the output and explains the trade-off between upfront work, comfort and expected performance.
4. Hot water assessment
The design also considers your hot water use and existing cylinder. We compare the practical and running-cost implications of keeping it or fitting a suitable replacement.
5. Installation standards are checked
Heat Geek installation standards are high, and Vector Heat has a proven track record for tidy, careful work. Your heat pump will be installed with proper attention to design, commissioning and finish.
6. Commissioning and handover
We test and commission the system, explain the controls and gather the handover evidence for your records. Liam checks the final settings before the system is handed over.
Useful information
Heat Geek questions homeowners should understand
Clear advice on the details that actually affect performance.
Will I be able to see my heat loss design?
Yes, you will have access to your heat loss design and paperwork via the Heat Geek portal.
What is Zero Disrupt?
ZeroDisrupt™ is Heat Geek’s AI-supported design process. It uses survey information and real-world performance data to identify unnecessary upgrades while protecting the required comfort and performance. Heat Geek says a typical installation is around £3,000 after the available government grant; your price still depends on the property, system design and grant eligibility.
Will my bills be lower?
A well-designed heat pump uses less energy than a boiler, but electricity costs more per unit than gas. Running cost depends on efficiency, tariff, flow temperature, controls and how the home is used. That is why design and commissioning matter.
Jargon buster
Heat pump terms explained
Open the terms you want to understand.
Flow temperature
The temperature of the water leaving the heat pump and going to your radiators or underfloor heating. Lower flow temperatures improve heat-pump efficiency, provided the radiators or underfloor heating can still keep the home warm.
Weather compensation
A control method where the heat pump automatically changes the water temperature depending on the outdoor temperature. It helps the system run steadily and efficiently.
Heat loss
The amount of heat each room loses on a cold day. It tells us how much heat the system needs to put back into each room.
Emitter
The part that emits heat into the room, such as a radiator, fan convector or underfloor heating circuit.
SCOP
Seasonal Coefficient of Performance. It is a seasonal efficiency figure. A SCOP of 4 means roughly 4 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity over the season.
Buffer
A water vessel sometimes added to heat pump systems. Buffers can be useful in the right design, but unnecessary or badly piped buffers can reduce efficiency.
MCS
The certification scheme required for most grant-funded heat pump installations. It sets standards for design, installation and customer paperwork.
BUS grant
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant. It is applied for by the installer and deducted from the customer’s quote if the installation is eligible.

FAQs
Common heat pump questions
How long does a heat pump installation take?
Many installations take several days, but it depends on cylinder work, radiator upgrades, pipework routes and whether the existing system needs correcting first. We will explain disruption before the job starts.
Do I need planning permission?
Many domestic air source heat pumps are installed under permitted development, but there are limits and exceptions. We will check the basics during survey, especially if the property is listed, in a conservation area, or the unit location is tight.
Will the heat pump be noisy?
Modern units are quiet when located and commissioned properly. Noise depends on the unit, location, mounting, airflow and how hard the system has to work.
Do you install Vaillant, Worcester Bosch and other brands?
Yes. We install equipment from several manufacturers. The survey and design decide the required output, controls and hydraulic arrangement before a brand is selected.
Can you work with oil or LPG homes?
Yes. Oil and LPG homes can be worth assessing for a heat pump, particularly where the property is off the gas grid. Running costs, grant support and suitability still depend on the property and system design.
What should I send with an enquiry?
Send your postcode, current heating type, whether you own the property, photos of the boiler, cylinder and radiators, and any quote or survey you already have. This helps us respond quickly.
