“They cost a fortune to run.”
They produce 3–5kW of heat from around 1kW of electricity — far cheaper than direct electric or LPG.
“They’re too noisy.”
Modern outdoor units run at 45–55dB, about the level of a quiet conversation.
“They freeze in winter.”
Automatic defrost cycles keep the system running reliably through cold weather.
“They take too long to warm up.”
Heat pumps warm a home steadily rather than in bursts. Left to run, your park home holds an even, comfortable temperature using very little energy.
“We’ll still be tied to LPG.”
Gas use drops significantly — with heating and hot water on the heat pump, only your cooker still runs on gas.
“Heat pumps don’t work in park homes.”
Correctly sized and designed, modern air source heat pumps suit the majority of residential park homes. The survey confirms it before anything is agreed.
“Do we need the park’s permission?”
Usually yes — your written agreement covers changes to your pitch. We agree it with the park before anything is installed, so it isn’t something you need to chase.
“Ours is an older park home.”
Older homes lose more heat, so the survey checks insulation, radiators and pipework first and the system is designed around what’s actually there.
