What is an Air Source Heat Pump?
An air source heat pump works by absorbing heat from the air outside, even when it’s cold, and using that energy to warm your home and hot water supply. It’s a renewable, low-carbon heating option that’s becoming increasingly popular in the UK as more households make the switch to sustainable energy systems.
Instead of burning fuel, the pump transfers heat using a small amount of electricity, making it far more efficient than a conventional boiler. For every unit of electricity it uses, it can generate up to three or four units of heat, making it one of the most efficient heating technologies available.
Why Choose an Air Source Heat Pump?
- Lower energy bills: reduced reliance on gas or oil
- Eco-friendly heating: significantly lower carbon emissions
- Eligible for government incentives, including potential funding through schemes
- Works with underfloor heating and modern radiators
- Minimal maintenance: simple servicing and long lifespan

Air Source Heat Pump FAQs
Running costs depend on your property's insulation, the size of the system and current electricity and gas prices.

Most air source heat pump installations in England fall under permitted development and don't require planning permission, though this can depend on your property type and location (for example, listed buildings or conservation areas may have different rules). We can advise on this as part of your installation.
Government grant schemes for air source heat pumps are available from time to time, subject to eligibility criteria. As an MCS-certified installer, we can advise on what's currently available and whether your property qualifies.
Modern air source heat pumps are designed to run quietly, similar in sound level to a domestic fridge or air conditioning unit. We'll help you choose a suitable, well-positioned unit for your property.
In many cases, yes, though older or smaller radiators may need upgrading to work efficiently with a heat pump's lower flow temperatures. We'll assess your existing system as part of the installation process.
