Heat pumps offer a proven route to decarbonising heating systems across industrial, commercial, and public sector buildings. Whether you’re exploring air-source, ground-source, or high-temperature heat pumps, understanding feasibility and designing the right system is key to success.
Arthian provides expert consultancy to assess the suitability of heat pumps for your site, design systems that meet your energy needs, and support delivery from concept to commissioning.
What Is a Heat Pump Feasibility Study?
A heat pump feasibility study evaluates whether a heat pump system is technically and economically viable for your site.
It considers:
Heat demand and temperature requirements
Site constraints and infrastructure
Technology options and performance modelling
Integration with existing systems
Planning, permitting, and funding opportunities
Our studies help you make informed decisions, build a strong business case, and prepare for successful implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are heat pumps suitable for older buildings or retrofit projects?
Yes. We specialise in designing systems that integrate with existing infrastructure and overcome retrofit challenges.
Can heat pumps deliver high temperatures for industrial processes?
Yes. High-temperature heat pumps can deliver up to 160°C and are suitable for many industrial applications.
Do you help with funding applications?
Absolutely. We support applications to schemes such as the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS), Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF), and other regional grants.
Can heat pumps be combined with other renewable technologies?
Yes. We design hybrid systems that integrate heat pumps with solar PV, thermal storage, and other technologies.
How long does a feasibility study take?
This depends on the complexity of your site, but most studies are completed within 4–6 weeks.
