We design, install and look after intelligent renewable systems. From heat pumps, solar PV and battery, to smart-tarrif integration. Engineered to keep a home warm, low-carbon and low-cost for the next thirty years. Not a like-for-like boiler swap; a home designed around the way you’ll live.

"South West Heat Pumps considered cooling from the outset helping me to choose the right brand of heat pump and emitters tailored for each room. Short version, cooling was considered at the start of the design not as an afterthought."

Heat-loss design, ground & Air source, solar, battery and hybridisation. All specified around your home, not a price list. This is what we excel at.
Any heat pump, any brand, across the South West.
Every project is a whole, intelligent system. We design systems with heating, cooling solar and storage working together, not just a replacement heat source.
01
Transform an existing home into an intelligent, low-carbon system: heat pump, cooling, solar PV, battery and smart-tarrif integration working together. Designed to cut bills and carbon, not just swap the boiler.
02
Designed in from a blank page. The lowest-carbon, lowest-running-cost home from day one – ground or air source, underfloor heating, MVHR and PV hybridisation integrated into the architecture.
03
Bringing a substantial or period property up to modern performance. Design-led upgrades, correctly sized low-temperature emitters and an intelligent system that suits how the home is really used.
04
Offices, workshops, hospitality and small commercial buildings — the same design-led, futureproofed approach, scaled up and designed around how the building is really used.
Every install is different. Here’s what “design-led” actually looks like on the ground.
A 1930s home with solid walls and no obvious route to a heat pump. Full fabric-first survey, low-temperature emitters throughout, and a ground array sized around the garden rather than the budget.

“From the start 5 years ago when the ground source system was installed and since then with the annual service visits, SWHP have been helpful, reliable, efficient and engaging. The SWHP folk mirror the service that the company provides.
Thank you”

“I was so impressed with the service. It was easy to arrange an appointment, the service was prompt, friendly and efficient – followed up by emails. The engineers clearly knew their job and were so lovely and friendly. I unreservedly recommend South West Heat Pumps.”
Devon · Joanne
“We had SWHP install our system 5 years ago and they were really helpful and on it! It works like a dream. Sue takes care of the admin and always super helpful. Our yearly service just done by Martin recently who was a great guy and very knowledgeable … went the extra mile!”

Renewable heating decisions made today shape bills, comfort and compliance for the next thirty years. We design every element to work as
one.
01
Ground, air or water, all are sized from a proper heat-loss calculation, not a rule of thumb. Where geology allows, ground source for the highest efficiency and lowest running cost.
02
Heating, hot water and cooling. Include solar PV and battery so the home generates and stores its own energy, and is ready for time-of-use smart tariffs.
03
Underfloor heating, correctly sized radiators or fan coils – or a considered mix –
all designed for efficient low-temperature flow.
04
Controls, monitoring and smart-tariff integration that run the whole system
intelligently. Hybridised, optimised and futureproof.
We specify Ecoforest and Maxa only. Chosen for their advanced specification: smart-tariff ready, hybridisation capable and built to integrate with solar and battery. We lead with ground
source: our signature expertise.
The only Spanish manufacturer of ground-source heat pumps, and a global leader in inverter geothermal technology.
