What is an air source heat pump? And why would I choose to have one?

An air source heat pump extracts low grade heat from the outdoor air and upgrades it to provide heating and hot water inside your home. Modern systems work well in the British climate, even in winter, and can be paired with radiators or underfloor heating.

They can lower your heating bills, cut carbon emissions and provide a comfortable, steady heat throughout the year. We design and install systems tailored to your property, and we help you understand costs, grants and the best options for your home.

Common Questions

What is an air source heat pump and how does it work?

An air source heat pump takes warmth from the air outside, even in winter, and uses it to heat your home and hot water. It’s like a fridge in reverse, using clever technology to provide efficient, low-carbon heating all year round.

Will a heat pump work in my home?

Most homes in the UK are suitable for heat pumps, but the system needs to be designed specifically for your property. That’s why we offer a free home survey so we can assess your needs and create a tailored solution that works efficiently and comfortably for your home.

How much does a heat pump cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your home and the system design. But with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), you could get up to £7,500 off the cost of installation. You can use our calculator tool to get an idea of costs

Will a heat pump actually save me money?

Yes, many homeowners see a significant reduction in energy bills, especially if they’re switching from oil, LPG or electric heating. We’ll provide a proposal showing your expected running costs and long-term savings so you can make an informed choice.

Do heat pumps work in cold weather?

Yes. Modern heat pumps are designed for UK winters and can work efficiently even when temperatures drop below freezing. We install systems that are properly specified and designed to meet your home’s heating needs all year round.

How long does installation take?

Most installations take around 3–5 days, depending on your existing heating system. We manage everything from start to finish, including any radiator upgrades or pipework, to keep the process smooth and stress-free.

Is there support after installation?

Absolutely. We offer ongoing servicing and maintenance packages to make sure your system stays in top condition. We also include a 2-year workmanship guarantee for peace of mind.
