      Clean, Efficient Heating for Your Home

      An air source heat pump (ASHP) extracts heat from the outside air and uses it to heat your home and hot water. Even on cold days, the technology works efficiently – producing around three times the energy it consumes.

      With gas boilers being phased out of new homes and the government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme offering grants, now is an excellent time to make the switch to a greener, lower-cost heating solution.

      The Heat Pump Process

      1

      Absorb Heat

      The outdoor unit absorbs heat from the air using a refrigerant fluid, even in sub-zero temperatures.

      2

      Compress

      A compressor raises the temperature of the refrigerant, concentrating the heat energy.

      3

      Transfer

      Heat is transferred to your home's water circuit via a heat exchanger, warming radiators and hot water.

      4

      Distribute

      The heated water circulates through your existing radiators, underfloor heating or hot water cylinder.

      How Much Does an Air Source Heat Pump Cost?

      A typical air source heat pump installation costs around £8,000 - £14,000 before any grant funding, depending on the size of your home, insulation levels and whether radiators need upgrading.

      The government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme currently offers a grant of up to £7,500 to help with the cost, applied directly at the point of installation. We'll confirm your eligibility and the final price during your free survey.

      Air Source Heat Pump FAQs

      Running costs depend on your home's insulation and current energy tariffs, but because heat pumps produce around three times the energy they consume, most well-insulated homes see lower bills than with an old gas boiler.

      Most residential installations fall under permitted development and don't need planning permission, though there are a few exceptions for listed buildings or certain positioning. We'll advise during your survey.

      Modern air source heat pumps are designed to run quietly, typically comparable to the hum of a fridge, and are positioned to comply with noise regulations for outdoor units.

      Most homeowners in England and Wales with a valid EPC and no outstanding loft or cavity wall insulation recommendations are eligible. We'll check your eligibility as part of your free survey.
