Commercial Heat Pump Installation in Leicester
Hinckley Plumbing & Heating Services Ltd designs, installs and services commercial heat pumps for businesses, schools, care homes and public buildings across Leicester. We’re MCS certified, and our commercial engineers already maintain heating plant for organisations across the city, so we know how much disruption a heating changeover can cause and plan the work around it.
Leicester’s commercial buildings range from Victorian mills and terraced shopfronts to modern offices and units on business parks such as Meridian. Each one needs a heat pump system sized to its own heat loss and occupancy, often with several outdoor units running together and connected into the existing plant room.
Every installation starts with a site survey and heat loss calculation, and you get a fixed, itemised quote before any work is booked.

Commercial Air Source Heat Pumps in Leicester
Heat Pumps for Schools and Colleges
Schools are one of the most common places we work, and they suit heat pumps well when the system is designed around the timetable. Heating can be set back overnight and through the holidays while frost protection keeps the building safe, and the main installation work can be planned for half terms and the summer break.
Older Commercial Buildings in Leicester
Victorian mills, converted warehouses and solid-walled offices lose heat faster than modern buildings. That doesn’t rule out a heat pump, but it does mean the heat loss calculation, emitter sizing and any insulation improvements have to be right before the outdoor units are chosen.
Keeping the Building Running During the Changeover
We phase the work so heating and hot water stay available where they’re needed, often installing and commissioning the heat pumps before the old plant is disconnected.
Servicing Across Leicestershire
Once the system is in, we service it on an agreed schedule so efficiency stays where it was designed and the manufacturer warranty remains valid.

FAQ
Leicester Commercial Heat Pump FAQs
If you’re looking for commercial heat pump installation in Leicester and across Leicestershire, contact Hinckley Plumbing & Heating Services Ltd to arrange a site survey with our team. We also carry out commercial boiler installation in Leicester and commercial boiler servicing in Leicester where boilers remain part of the system, and we install commercial heat pumps in Coventry.
Can heat pumps heat older commercial buildings in Leicester?
Yes, provided the system is designed around the building’s real heat loss. Older buildings may need larger emitters, some insulation work or a higher flow temperature, and we’ll set out the trade-offs after the survey.
Will a heat pump work in a school that closes for the holidays?
Yes. Controls can hold the building at a lower temperature when it’s empty, with frost protection running in the background, and bring it back up before staff and pupils return.
Is there grant funding for a commercial heat pump in Leicester?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can take £7,500 off an air source heat pump at business premises in England, for systems up to 45kWth on a single heat pump or 70kWth where several are installed together. Larger systems are funded privately or through other routes.
Can the installation be done out of hours or during school holidays?
Yes. We agree a programme with you at survey stage and can schedule the disruptive parts of the job for evenings, weekends or holiday periods.
Do you service commercial heat pumps across Leicestershire?
Yes. We service the heat pumps we install and, where we can safely work on the make, systems fitted by other installers.
