Air Source Heat Pump Installation Norfolk: Diss | EPH

EPH Services recently completed a professional air source heat pump installation Norfolk project, installing a Panasonic air source heat pump cylinder in a compact airing cupboard on a new build property in Diss. Our engineer Gary delivered a professional, space-efficient installation that integrates seamlessly with the property’s renewable heating system.

Air source heat pump installation Norfolk: The Diss project

Working in a very tight airing cupboard presented a particular challenge on this new build in Diss. The space constraints required careful planning and precise pipework routing to ensure the Panasonic cylinder could be installed safely, efficiently, and with full access for future servicing.

Gary routed all copper pipework neatly around the cylinder, with manifolds, isolation valves and circulation pumps positioned for easy maintenance access. The installation includes proper expansion, pressure relief and control components—all essential for a safe, MCS-compliant air source heat pump system.

Why choose a Panasonic air source heat pump system?

Panasonic Aquarea heat pumps are known for their reliability, efficiency and quiet operation. The dedicated cylinder works in tandem with the outdoor heat pump unit to deliver hot water and central heating using renewable energy extracted from the air—significantly reducing running costs compared to oil or LPG boilers.

New build properties in Norfolk are increasingly specifying air source heat pumps to meet building regulations and achieve high energy performance ratings. Homeowners can also benefit from the government Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which offers grants of up to £7,500 towards the cost of an MCS-certified heat pump installation.

Frequently asked questions

Do air source heat pumps work in new build properties?

Yes, air source heat pumps are ideal for new builds. Modern properties are well insulated, which means heat pumps can operate very efficiently at lower flow temperatures. Many new builds in Norfolk now specify heat pumps as standard to meet Part L building regulations.

Can you install a heat pump cylinder in a small airing cupboard?

Yes, with careful planning and expert pipework design. We regularly work in tight spaces and can design installations that maximise access for servicing while keeping everything neat and compliant. The Panasonic cylinder range includes compact models suited to smaller properties.

Are Panasonic heat pumps eligible for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?

Yes, Panasonic Aquarea air source heat pumps installed by MCS-certified installers like EPH Services are eligible for the government Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant of up to £7,500, helping to offset the upfront installation cost.

How long does a heat pump cylinder installation take?

A typical cylinder installation as part of a complete air source heat pump system takes one to three days, depending on the property layout, pipework runs and whether we’re working on a new build or a retrofit. We’ll give you a clear timeline during the survey and quotation stage.
