Air Source Heat Pumps: Efficient, Sustainable Heating for Your Home
What are Air Source Heat Pumps?
Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are an eco-friendly and cost-effective way to heat your home while reducing your carbon footprint. By extracting heat from the outside air—even in colder temperatures—ASHPs provide reliable heating and hot water all year round.
Benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps
- Energy Efficient – Convert 1kW of electricity into up to 4kW of heat.
- Eco-Friendly – Reduce carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.
- Year-Round Comfort – Depending on the model they can heat in winter and cool in summer.
- Government Incentives – Potential grants and funding available to help with installation costs.
- Low Maintenance – Long lifespan with minimal servicing required.
How Do Air Source Heat Pumps Work?
ASHPs work by absorbing heat from the outdoor air and transferring it into your home. They operate efficiently even in cold temperatures and can be used with underfloor heating, radiators, or hot water systems. The process includes:

- Heat Absorption – Extracts heat from outside air using a refrigerant cycle.
- Compression & Transfer – The heat is intensified and transferred to your home’s heating system.
- Circulation – Warm air or hot water is distributed throughout your home for heating and hot water supply.
Starting as low as £2500 (after the £7500 grant)
