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