We had a heat pump installed, and a year later we've just had our first annual service completed by Dan and the team. Hohm have been brilliant from start to finish and always kept us in the loop. The heat pump has been running great, and Dan has stayed in touch to make sure everything is running smoothly and to answer any questions I’ve had. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hohm.

Installed full heating system including heat pump, hot water tank, radiators and underfloor heating, and serviced a year later. Couple of minor issues that they were great at sorting. Great knowledge, tidy workers who take pride in their work and ensuring everything met our needs.

We used Hohm to upgrade our gas central heating system. From initial contact to completion we were really impressed. Arrived on time every day and worked long days to complete the work in the timescale they set. Luke and Josh who completed the work were brilliant, pleasant and polite. They tidied up at the end of each day and left the house exactly how they found it. Highly recommend.

After reading an article in a national Sunday newspaper and viewing the Heat Geek website my lengthy investigation into installing a heat pump crystallised and I went ahead immediately.
I chose Hohm Ltd as installers.
The heat loss survey,handover and follow up was excellent.
Hohm Ltd worked in tandem with the solar panels and battery storage system installers.
It is essential to appoint experienced installers.

The problem with my water boiler was identified over the phone, the part ordered and a quotation given immediately. A date for fitting was arranged to suit me and (after a quick phone call to me) he arrived early. The job was carried out thoroughly and everything left clean and tidy. Thoroughly reccommend Hohm.

Dan did an excellent review of our needs and produced a tailored offer fully aligned with our requirements. Luke and Josh did an excellent installation and commissioning. They were polite and conscientious throughout. They left everything clean and operating and explained the key concepts to us in clear language. We are able to operate the controls on our new WB combi boiler and are delighted that we chose Hohm.

Dan and the team did a great job of designing and installing our Air Source Heat Pump this year. The design process was clear, from a thorough survey to detailed recommendations for the insulation, radiators and under floor heating. The installation was done with great attention to detail, fitting the tank etc into a small space and being on hand to follow up with any queries. Dan is passionate about getting the design right and clearly keeps up to speed with the latest industry beat practice. We are pleased with the result and would recommend.

When I took the decision to swap out my gas combi for an air source heat pump, I had already had a couple of heat loss surveys. My gas boiler had been running as much like a heat pump as is possible for the previous 12 months, at a 50 degree flow temperature, weather compensation and heating on 24/7. I also had lots of temperature data from individual rooms, so I felt reasonably confident that my house was suitable for a heat pump.
Dan carried out my third heat loss survey and was the most thorough, having come armed with a boroscope to check on insulation in ceilings and walls.
He came up with a design that suited me in terms of location of equipment, and we agreed on radiator upgrades over the next few weeks. The work followed a couple of months later, with Luke joining Dan on the install. They worked hard, carefully and conscientiously, sometimes for long hours. And they explained everything.
Dan has just been to service the ASHP after it's first year. I'm not surprised that it's been working well, and exceeded the predicted efficiency.
I'm very happy to now have a warm and comfortable house, and to recommend Hohm for heat pump design and install.

Excellent at all stages. We got many quotes for our Heat Pump installation and Dan was the most knowledgeable. We were right to trust him. The installation was seamless and incredibly neat. Dan remained in contact after the install to ensure we were totally happy. Many thanks to Dan, Luke, Josh and Luke, we were so impressed by all the team. Currently sitting in my toasty house, feeling very glad we took the plunge!
Response from the owner
Hi Carol, thank you for trusting us with your heat pump installation, and indeed the keys to your house! We were really pleased with how smoothly the installation went, and even more so at your great review! I'll be sure to pass on your thanks to Luke, Josh and Luke!

Dan and Luke at Hohm have been brilliant from start to finish. We asked them to install a heat pump for us and I was delighted with it. During design phase, Dan was clearly very knowledgeable and took time to talk through the process and the reasons behind his decisions. He was very accommodating of my needs (e.g. I wanted specific radiator styles) and was swift at turning round a quote. Come install, they worked really efficiently, didn't leave any mess and talked me through the system once it was built.
They also worked well alongside our other builders and seemed to go above and beyond for us. For example, to minimise the time my young family had without hot water they installed a temporary immersion heater. I also have to acknowledge how good they were with my kids who could have been perceived as getting in the way, but both Dan and Luke were great with them, talking to them about what they were doing and having fun. Shout out to Luke from my daughter who still talks about him all they time!
Then the performance. For my system, (5kW hest pump in 4 bed detached house) my efficiency in the first month has been 520%. Excellent outcome and and warm house 24/7.
Aftercare: perhaps one of the parts I appreciate the most, Dan's willingness to keep an eye on my system performance and help me to refine the settings to make sure it works for me. In the first 2 weeks, he was picking up issues before I had even noticed them and suggested how to change the settings.
Overall - incredible from start to finish and would fully recommend Hohm to anyone wanting a heat pump.

Dan and his team worked tirelessly to put right what Liquid & Gas Ltd got wrong. Despite it being a Friday, and having to turn off the boiler as the previous company had left it unsafe, his team found the part and worked into the evening to ensure the occupants did not have to go a whole weekend without heat and hot water. They did not take advantage, and charged a fair price. An excellent service around.

Frequently Asked Questions About Central Heating Systems
What is the cheapest central heating system to run?
For most UK homes, the cheapest central heating systems to run are gas central heating and air source heat pumps, the winner depends on your home, your fuel prices, and how efficiently the system is designed.
Gas has historically been the go-to for low running costs, especially with a modern condensing boiler and smart controls.
Air source heat pumps are increasingly the most efficient long-term option; a well-designed system delivers three to four times more heat than the electricity it uses, and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant of up to £7,500 makes the switch far more affordable upfront.
The right choice depends on your property and priorities. Get in touch and we’ll help you weigh it up honestly.
How much is the average cost for central heating?
The average cost for central heating installation can vary significantly depending on several factors such as the size of the property, the type of heating system chosen, the complexity of the installation, and local market rates. As of the last update, which was in January 2022, the average cost for installing central heating in a typical UK home ranged from £2,500 to £5,000 or more. This estimate typically includes the cost of the boiler or heating unit, radiators, pipework, and installation labor.
However, it’s essential to obtain quotes from reputable heating engineers or companies to get an accurate estimate tailored to your specific requirements and property characteristics. Additionally, consider factors like energy efficiency, warranty, and ongoing maintenance costs when comparing quotes and selecting a central heating system. Prices may have fluctuated, so it’s advisable to research current costs in your area for the most accurate information.
What is central heating in a house?
Central heating in a house refers to a system that provides heat to multiple rooms or areas within the property from a centralized source. The primary components of a central heating system typically include:
Boiler: This is the central heating unit that generates heat. Boilers commonly use gas, oil, electricity, or renewable energy sources like biomass to heat water, which then circulates through radiators or underfloor heating systems to warm the space.
Radiators or Underfloor Heating: These are the heat emitters that distribute the warmth generated by the boiler throughout the rooms. Radiators are metal panels with fins that radiate heat into the room, while underfloor heating consists of pipes installed beneath the floor surface, which heat the floor and subsequently the room above.
Pipework: Pipes connect the boiler to the radiators or underfloor heating system, allowing hot water to circulate throughout the house.
Thermostat and Controls: A thermostat allows homeowners to set and control the desired temperature within the property. Additional controls, such as timers and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), can help optimise energy usage and ensure rooms are heated efficiently.
Central heating systems provide consistent and comfortable heat distribution throughout the house, making them popular for residential properties in colder climates. They offer convenience, energy efficiency, and flexibility in controlling indoor temperatures compared to localised heating methods like space heaters or individual room heating systems.
Is it cheaper to have central heating on all the time?
Whether it’s cheaper to have central heating on all the time or to use it only when needed depends on various factors, including the insulation level of your home, the efficiency of your heating system, the cost of energy, and your heating preferences. Here are some considerations:
1. Insulation: Well-insulated homes can retain heat better, reducing the need for continuous heating. If your home is well-insulated, you may find that you can maintain a comfortable temperature with shorter heating periods.
2. Efficiency of Heating System: Modern central heating systems, especially those with condensing boilers and smart controls, can be more efficient when operated continuously at a lower temperature rather than being turned on and off frequently. However, older or less efficient systems may benefit from being used more strategically.
3. Energy Costs: The cost of energy, particularly gas or electricity, plays a significant role in determining the most cost-effective heating strategy. If energy prices are lower during off-peak hours, such as overnight, it may be more economical to run the heating continuously but at a lower setting.
4. Personal Comfort: Some people prefer to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the day, which may necessitate leaving the heating on continuously. Others may be comfortable with fluctuations in temperature and prefer to only heat their home when necessary.
Ultimately, the most cost-effective approach will vary depending on your specific circumstances. It’s a good idea to experiment with different heating schedules, monitor energy usage, and consider investing in energy-efficient upgrades like insulation and smart heating controls to optimise comfort and reduce costs. Additionally, seeking advice from heating professionals or energy advisors can help you make informed decisions about your heating strategy.
How future proof is your central heating?
The future-proofing of your central heating system depends on several factors, including its energy efficiency, compatibility with emerging technologies, and adaptability to future regulations and environmental standards. Here are some considerations for assessing the future-proofing of your central heating:
Energy Efficiency: Investing in a high-efficiency central heating system can help future-proof your home against rising energy costs and evolving regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions. Look for systems with high energy efficiency ratings and features like condensing boilers, smart controls, and advanced insulation.
Compatibility with Emerging Technologies: Consider whether your central heating system is compatible with emerging technologies such as renewable energy sources (e.g., solar panels, heat pumps) and smart home integration. Choosing a system that can easily integrate with these technologies will increase its longevity and flexibility.
