Air Source Heat Pump Installers in Durham
Based in Sedgefield, Enerus designs and installs air source heat pump systems across Durham—from city and former mining communities to rural, off-gas properties.
From initial assessment through detailed design, MCS-certified installation, commissioning and aftercare, Enerus treats the heat pump as part of a complete heating system.
Local property knowledge
Local design for Durham properties
Durham and its surrounding communities combine dense terraces, post-war housing, newer estates, farmhouses and traditional rural properties. Fuel type, exposure, construction and space for equipment vary substantially across the area.
Rural and off-gas properties
Homes using oil, LPG, solid fuel or direct electric heating require careful consideration of the conversion, electrical capacity, plant arrangement and existing distribution system.
Traditional and extended homes
Stone construction, mixed wall types and multiple extensions can make whole-house averages misleading. Room-by-room calculations reveal where fabric or emitter improvements matter.
Estates and family homes
Properties around Durham, Chester-le-Street, Newton Aycliffe and Sedgefield may offer straightforward access, but heat demand, hot water and existing pipework still determine the final specification.
Design before equipment
What a proper heat-pump proposal should establish
A useful quotation must explain how the proposed system relates to the home. Enerus develops the specification from the building and intended operating conditions rather than selecting equipment from bedroom count alone.
Heating and hot-water design
- Room-by-room design heat loss
- Whole-home peak heating demand
- Radiator or underfloor-heating output
- Proposed design flow temperature
- Household hot-water requirement
Practical installation scope
- Outdoor-unit position and clearances
- Cylinder and internal component locations
- Hydraulic and electrical requirements
- Pipe routes, insulation and condensate
- Commissioning, controls and handover
A clear route forward
From first enquiry to a commissioned system
You should understand what happens next, what information is still required and when any financial commitment is being made.
Initial property review
Tell us about the home, current heating, priorities and timescale. We review likely suitability and the sensible next step.
Survey and detailed design
Property measurements and room data establish heat loss, emitter performance, equipment duty and the installation arrangement.
Written proposal
The proposal defines equipment, scope, price, available grant support and assumptions before installation is agreed.

Costs and grant support
Understand the complete project—not only the outdoor unit
The final cost depends on heat-pump capacity, hot-water storage, emitters, controls, electrical work, pipework and site requirements. Eligible installations may receive Boiler Upgrade Scheme support under the rules applying at the time of application.
Start with a property-based estimate
Use the Enerus estimator for an initial indication of system size, likely project cost, grant support and running-cost assumptions.
Check the assumptions
Running costs depend on annual heat demand, seasonal efficiency, hot-water use, controls, tariff and the heating system being designed and operated correctly.
Local questions
Air source heat pump FAQs for Durham
Do you install heat pumps throughout Durham?
We cover Durham, Sedgefield, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Bishop Auckland, Barnard Castle and many surrounding communities, subject to postcode and project suitability.
Can a heat pump replace oil or LPG heating?
Potentially. The home’s heat loss, emitters, hot-water system, electrical supply and practical installation route must be assessed. Current grant eligibility must also be confirmed.
Are you local to Durham?
Yes. Enerus Limited is based at NETPark Plexus in Sedgefield and serves homes across Durham and the wider North East.
How is the heat pump size calculated?
The design begins with room-by-room heat loss at appropriate design conditions. Equipment performance at the intended outdoor and water temperatures is then considered alongside hot-water demand and system arrangement.
