How do air source heat pumps work?
An air source heat pump will extract heat from the outside air, converting low grade heat into useable energy, by passing it through a compressor where its temperature is increased. The heat is then used for space heating and hot water. An air source heat pump will work at temperatures as low as -20°C outside.
Find out if your home is suited to air source and what an installation requires with our free calculator. Levels of insulation within your home and your current heating types all effect estimated annual savings, but our simple to use guide gives you an idea as to heat pump running costs for different ages and types of homes and the size of the required units. So for a quick estimate of installation costs and awards available click below.
Plus, as a government-approved installer under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), we can check your property’s eligibility for the £7,500 incentive.
Why not get in touch with us today to discover your property’s suitability for air source heating and start saving on your energy bills? We are here to help you every step of the way towards a more sustainable future.
The suitability of air source heating for your property may vary depending on the type of house you live in, levels of insulation in your home, the size of the current radiator system and whether you have underfloor heating.
These are explored in our calculator giving you instant estimates on the supply and installation cost of your air source heating, including the £7500 BUS grant. We show you estimated annual air source heat pump running costs and even estimated annual savings against your current heating type so you can see the potential payback period for yourself.
All of this is provided free of charge, without having to leave your email address. Should you wish to arrange a survey and to discuss this further, simply fill the form in at the end and we will be in touch for a no obligation, no-pressure discussion as to your property’s suitability for installing an air source heat pump.

Air source heat pump or ground source heat pump?
A ground source heat pump, also known as a geothermal heat pump, is a heating and cooling system that uses the ground as a source of heat. It works by using a series of underground pipes, called a loop system, to transfer heat from the ground to the indoor air, or vice versa depending on whether you are using it for heating or cooling. A ground source heat pump is also an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional heating and cooling systems, as it uses the stable temperature of the ground to provide heating and cooling rather than burning fossil fuels.
Air source heat pumps require minimal maintenance.
Air source heat pumps are cheaper and less disruptive to install than a ground source heat pump. They are installed outside your home and can be fitted to a wall or placed on the ground.
Air source heat pumps produce lower carbon emissions than most fossil fuel appliances. They can convert 1 kilowatt of electricity into 3.5 kilowatts of heat, meaning they can be 350% efficient. For comparison, an A-rated combination boiler can only turn 1 kilowatt of gas or oil into 0.9 kilowatts of heat, meaning they are 90% efficient.
**The Mitsubishi Ecodan PUZ-WH85VAA has a Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) of 3.47 or 347% efficiency at a flow temperature of 55 degrees. At a flow temperature of 35 degrees this increases to 4.79 or 479% efficiency.
As well as making excellent savings compared to oil or LPG heating systems, generous Government incentives are available to support the installation of air source heat pumps. Those homeowners who are replacing an existing fossil fuel system, renovating or building a new home are eligible. And if you have solar panels on your property you can use this free electricity to power your heat pump.
Need support with your boiler cost replacement? The Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is designed to help reduce the total cost of replacing your boiler with a low carbon, renewable heating system. We are a BUS grant approved installer and ready to check eligibility and process the £7500 installation incentives.
