The installation process typically takes 1 to 3 days, depending on the complexity of the system and the size of your property. Our team ensures minimal disruption and a quick, efficient installation.
Air Source Heat Pumps
Why Choose an Air Source Heat Pump?
- Efficient Heating & Hot Water: Provides both heating and hot water efficiently, reducing overall energy consumption.
- Lower Energy Bills: Save money on your energy bills by switching to renewable energy.
- Environmentally Friendly: Air source heat pumps produce low carbon emissions, helping you reduce your environmental impact.
- Available Grants: Government-backed grants can help cover the cost of installation, making it more affordable than ever.
Can I Get an Air Source Heat Pump Grant
Yes! The government offers grants for installing air source heat pumps, either as an ECO4 grant covering the whole cost of the installation making it completely free of charge or as part of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, where up to £7500 can be paid towards upgrading to an air source heat pump! There are a number of ways that you can qualify for these grants. Please see our qualifying criteria ( can we do a link )

How Do Air Source Heat Pumps Work
Air source heat pumps extract heat from the outside air and use it to heat your home and provide hot water. Even during the colder months, these systems remain highly effective.
- Heat Extraction: The unit, located outside your home, draws heat from the outside air.
- Heat Transfer: The captured heat is transferred into a refrigerant liquid that heats up even at low temperatures.
- Compression & Heating: The liquid is compressed to a gas, becoming even hotter. This hot gas either heats the air inside your home or heats water.
- Efficient Year-Round: Even in winter, air source heat pumps continue to heat your home efficiently.
Unlike traditional boilers, air source heat pumps require much less energy to provide heating and hot water, making them a highly efficient choice for any home.
Benefits of Installing an Air Source Heat Pump
- Lower Energy Bills: Air source heat pumps can save up to 50% on heating costs compared to traditional systems.
- Long Lifespan: These systems typically last up to 20 years, outlasting most traditional heating systems.
- Low Maintenance: They require minimal maintenance, with periodic servicing every 2-3 years.
- No Fuel Storage: Unlike oil or gas heating, there’s no need for fuel storage or regular deliveries.
- Environmentally Friendly: Reduces your home’s carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable future.
- Versatile: Some systems can cool your home in the summer, offering year-round climate control.
Is Your Property Suitable for an Air Source Heat Pump?
Before installation, our team will assess the insulation in your home and ensure there’s adequate space and airflow for the heat pump. Air source heat pumps work best in well-insulated homes, ensuring maximum efficiency and lower operational costs.
- Space Considerations: The unit requires external space and proper airflow to function optimally.
- Property Size: Larger homes may need multiple units to meet heating and hot water demands.
Consider combining your air source heat pump with solar panels (Solar PV) to power the system and further enhance energy efficiency. With available grants for both heat pumps and insulation, you can make significant savings on energy bills.
Can I Get an Air Source Heat Pump Grant?
Yes! The government offers grants for installing air source heat pumps as part of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Grants of up to £5,000 are available for homeowners who meet the eligibility criteria.
To qualify, your home must have an eligible Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), and your property must meet the scheme’s requirements for low-emission heating solutions.
If you’re eligible, this grant will significantly reduce the cost of installing an air source heat pump, making it an affordable solution for your home.

HOW IT WORKS
Yes! Air source heat pumps are designed to work efficiently even in cold weather. They extract heat from the outside air, and while their efficiency decreases slightly in extreme cold, they can still effectively heat your home and provide hot water.
Air source heat pumps produce some noise during operation, but modern systems are designed to be quiet and unobtrusive. Most units are no louder than a standard fridge running.
Air source heat pumps require very little maintenance. Simply ensure the unit is kept clean and free from debris, and we recommend servicing the system every 2-3 years to keep it running efficiently.
Air source heat pumps are a reliable source of heating and hot water, but in some cases, a backup heating system may be required in particularly cold climates. Our experts can assess your home to determine if additional heating is necessary.
Air source heat pumps are very energy-efficient. The running costs depend on factors like the size of your property, insulation, and usage patterns. However, compared to conventional heating systems, air source heat pumps can reduce your energy bills by up to 50%.
