Our experience shows that homes built in the 1980s and later generally require little to no pipework upgrades, depending on their current insulation levels. We can provide guidance on this to help avoid any unnecessary disruption - hopefully meaning
- [When will heat pumps get smaller?](https://spirerenewables.co.uk/faqs/when-will-heat-pumps-get-smaller-2/) - There is a trade-off between Air Source Heat Pump sizing and noise pollution.
