A Bath Homeowner's Guide to R290 Heat Pumps
As Bath's local renewable energy specialists, we at Bison Eco understand that owning a Georgian property means being a custodian of our city's architectural heritage. Our team has helped numerous Bath homeowners modernise their heating systems whilst preserving their homes' distinctive character.
Working With Your Existing System
One of the most frequent concerns our Bath clients share is: "Won't I need to rip out all my existing pipework?" We're pleased to tell you that the answer is refreshingly straightforward – not necessarily. At Bison Eco, we've developed installation techniques that often allow us to work with your existing pipework, especially when professionally specified and installed by our experienced team.
