An Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) is a practical, low-carbon method for heating your home. Heat pump systems deliver highly efficient renewable energy as they provide more heat energy than the electrical energy they consume.

ASHP’s are typically installed outside, at the rear or side of your home. They require a good amount of space to allow air to circulate. However, ASHP installation is less disruptive than ground source heat pumps. In addition, they don’t require groundwork, so you can be confident your garden won’t need an overhaul.
You are unlikely to require planning permission for an ASHP unless your home is a listed building. However, owners of listed buildings will need consent from their local authorities.
Air source heat pumps are most effective when it’s warm outside, so this cuts costs for when you’re heating your hot water in the summer months.
Underfloor heating is more efficient than radiators because it works on a lower temperature meaning the ASHP doesn’t have to work as hard.
Our friendly, fully qualified technicians will visit your home to provide a site survey. During the survey, we will assess your property and design an installation plan that fits the needs of your home and energy requirements. In addition, we provide fully transparent no-obligation fixed quotes.
See below some of the more frequently asked questions we get from our customers.
Yes, air source heat pumps do still work in colder climates. However, your heat pump will have to work harder to deliver heat. Because of this, more energy is needed, which will lead to higher energy bills in the winter.
Heat pumps are typically quieter than traditional boilers. This is where sound installation is critical. Poorly installed heat pumps can make more noise if not appropriately secured. Effective planning, design and structure will help ensure your heat pump runs quietly.
Yes, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) provides grants to encourage homeowners to install low-carbon heating systems. For example, you can receive £5,000 off installation costs of an air source heat pump.
Space is a critical factor in suitability. For example, your heat pump will be installed outside your home and need a good amount of clear space around it to work efficiently. However, despite being larger, they live outside your home. As a result, you’ll save space inside.
Insulation is also important. Without good insulation, you will be losing heat, and your heat pump will need to work harder. Professional insulation will dramatically reduce heat loss, saving you money on your heating bill.
