Rickman Heat Ltd

Very professional. Worked to a timetable and work carried out to a high standard. Staff all considerate, polite and helpful. Just an indication of care. When the boiler flue was removed, one of the team cut a nd fitted a stone to fill the gap.

Fred and his team installed a comprehensive heat pump and underfloor heating package for our 180sqm bungalow during our renovation this year. When we bought the house, we knew we'd have to start again with the heating and we were keen to explore how a heat pump would work for us as we wanted a greener heating source. I spent a long time researching heat pumps as there was a lot of misleading information online and I came to realise that if we got the system designed correctly from the outset, and installed properly, it would be a success. And so the search began for an installer I could trust to deliver this...! I got 3 quotes from difference local companies who all had different attitudes to it. One was an old school method of chucking the heating in with a not very good output flooring system, oversizing the pump, and not really caring about efficiency. Another was an absolutely top line and overly expensive heat pump, with a less than ideal output flooring product - at quite a significant cost!. When I initially spoke with Fred at Rickman Heat, I was impressed with his attitude towards striving for the best efficiency and I felt that he would put a lot of work into the design. When the proposal arrived, I was delighted to see that not only was it indeed a simpler design that the other proposals, it also included a smaller heat pump as Fred felt that would be more than sufficient. It naturally then came out at a lower cost - with a higher efficiency. A big win! Fast forward a number of months, the system was installed professionally and I would say that out of all the trades we've had on site, the heating guys from Rickman heat have been the most professional and their attention to detail has been spot on. They've been a delight to have round and it's a pleasure to see their workmanship. We've now had the heating and hot water operational for a year and it has been working brilliantly. It has achieved a higher SCOP than forecast in Fred's design spec (which was already very high), and we couldn't be happier. As we drive it on a steady state mode on one large loop, the house is always warm and cosy throughout the winter months. Often when people visit the house in winter, one of the first things they remark on is how warm and balanced it is! I would certainly recommend Rickman Heat to anyone looking for a top performing heating solution!

We had an air source heat pump installed to replace a gas boiler, including fitting a hot water tank and replacing several radiators. The work was carried out expertly by Fred and his team who should all be proud of the work they do.

Downstairs Fred and his team laid underfloor heating and installed new hot water tank and organised new screed; upstairs new pipework and radiators in bedrooms, bathroom and corridor; outside installed and connected the heat pump The team were super professional and helpful - everything was on time and on budget and they made it easy to coordinate with all the other work being done on the house. Fred has been readily available to get the cooling settings right over the really hot weather - a bonus from a heat pump system

Rickman Heat installed a heat pump, along with associated hot water tank and radiators, at our property. I was so grateful to have found them as installers because I trusted they we in the business for all the right reasons and were so knowledgeable when it came to designing the system and setting it up efficiently. They went above and beyond to install the heat pump on our rear flat roof. They were efficient, professional and clean/tidy, plus lovely people to have in the house. I've already recommended them to multiple people.

I had an air source heat pump installed, including all new internal plumbing for underfloor heating, radiators and hot water. Fred and his team at Rickman Heat Ltd were very professional and knowledge at every stage of the process. Fred performed a detailed 'Heat Geek' approved thermal survey and system design, helping me to understand my home's efficiency and system proposal (which included anticipated performance). During installation, Rickman Heat Ltd were very accommodating around a varying renovation schedule, including returning to perform parts of the work as and when spaces were ready for first or second fix. Overall I'm very impressed with the quality of the work, and the performance of the system so far. I would highly recommend Rickman Heat Ltd to anyone looking at a new or existing heat pump heating system.
