Air source heat pumps

A heat pump extracts heat energy from the air or ground, even when it is cold outside, and uses it to warm your home.

A well-designed heat pump system transfers around three to four times more energy into a property as heat then it uses to extract it. As a result, heat pumps are incredibly efficient.

• Provides heating and hot water from the energy stored in the air or ground
• Generates more energy than it uses
• Qualifies for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme £5000 grant

An ASHP can be installed in a range of properties, whether small or large, rural or urban.
An air source heat pump is right for you if:

• You are looking for a low-carbon, eco-friendly and sustainable way to heat your home
• The property is well insulated – this is important for efficiency and keeping running costs low
• There is not enough outside space needed for a ground source heat pump – typically three times the total floor area of the property. For an ASHP, all you need is room for the unit to be fitted to an exterior wall, with enough space around it to get a good flow of air
• You are installing, or already have, an underfloor heating system. Air source heat pumps work particularly well with underfloor heating because they are at their most efficient when producing low water temperatures

Both new and existing properties can benefit from the energy-saving capabilities of a heat pump.
