Domestic Air Source Heat Pumps

Efficient, Low-Carbon Heating for Your Home.

Upgrade your home with a modern air source heat pump and enjoy reliable heating, lower carbon emissions, and future-proof energy efficiency. Designed for UK homes, air source heat pumps provide heating and hot water all year round – even in winter conditions.

How an Air Source Heat Pump Works

An air source heat pump extracts heat from the outside air and transfers it into your home’s heating system.

  • Heat is absorbed from the air into a refrigerant;
  • A compressor increases the temperature;
  • Heat is transferred into your radiators, underfloor heating, and hot water cylinder.

This process uses electricity but delivers significantly more heat energy than it consumes.

I was kept informed every step of the way. The boys fitting the panels were so nice and cleaned up after themselves. I would recommend them to anyone

I have to say that Kat and the team were excellent. Despite a few mis-communications, that were resolved. The install was fast and efficient, and after 3 months, no problems. I would reccommend.

The company was back and forth with me several times as not a strait forward installation. I was retro fitting battery to an original solar system with FIT. The solution was agreed and equipment fitted by a well presented and knowledgeable on site team. Calls from the office to keep me updated as I had a few visits. Small deposit requested allowing the job to progress with no other money requested until full installation was completed to my liking.

Very pleased with my recent solar and battery installation. The whole team, from quote to installation were easy to talk to. The installation team were really good clean workers and did an excellent job routing cables out of sight. I would highly recommend.

What Are The Key Benefits To Having An Air Source Heat Pump Installed?

High Efficiency

Air source heat pumps typically deliver 2–5 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity used (COP 2–5).
Far higher efficiency than traditional boilers.

Lower Carbon Emissions

Switching from a gas boiler can significantly reduce your home’s carbon footprint, helping meet UK net-zero targets.

Heating & Hot Water

Provides full central heating and domestic hot water from a single system.

Future-Proof Heating

With the UK moving away from fossil fuels, heat pumps are becoming the standard for new and upgraded homes.

Typical Costs & Grants

Installation cost: ~£10,000–£12,000 (typical UK home)
Government grants: Up to £7,500 available via schemes like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme

(Scotland: interest-free loans and grants may also be available)

Running Costs & Savings

Running costs depend on:

  • Property insulation
  • Radiator size / underfloor heating
  • Electricity tariff
  • System design

Heat pumps are more efficient than gas boilers, but electricity costs can affect savings.

In well-designed systems, they can reduce energy usage, provide stable, consistent heating and lower long-term bills as energy pricing evolves

Is Your Home Suitable?

Most UK homes are suitable, but the best results come with:

  • Good insulation (loft, walls, glazing)
  • Larger radiators or underfloor heating
  • Space for an outdoor unit
  • A hot water cylinder

Air source heat pumps are now the most common domestic heat pump in the UK and suit both new builds and retrofits.
