Air Source Heat Pumps  provide an efficient and sustainable way to heat your home. Instead of burning fuel like traditional heating systems, they use the warmth in the outside air to react with a refrigerant in the heat pump, causing it to boil. The resultant gas is then compressed to create heat which is transferred to the water in your system which in turn heats your home and hot water. The refrigerant has a boiling point of -20 degrees, so as long as the ambient temperature is higher than -20 degrees it will boil, and the system will work very well.

This process significantly reduces energy consumption while maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature. ASHPs are a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative, helping homeowners and businesses lower their heating bills and reduce their carbon footprint.

got a question about a Heat pump?

Low Carbon Footprint


Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) are a form of low carbon heating, as they use the outside air to heat your home and business, they don’t burn anything. If you are switching from a coal, LPG or electricity-based heating system, you will significantly reduce your carbon emissions.

Money Saving


By switching to an ASHP you can reduce your energy bills as you’ll be using a significantly more efficient system. This will improve over time as more electricity is produced via renewable sources.

Boiler Upgrade Scheme

If you comply with some very simple and straight forward qualifying criteria you will receive a grant of £7500 when you have an ASHP installed. Better still you don’t have to claim the grant, we do that for you and then just take it off your final bill.

Hot Water


ASHP work with radiators and underfloor heating to heat your rooms but the right sized cylinder will also ensure all your domestic hot water requirements are met.

Low Temperatures


An ASHP can extract heat from the ambient air even at a lower temperature, down to -20°C. An air-to-water heat pump can generate 40°C heat when outside temperatures are as low as -20°C.

Safe

As there is no need to burn any kind of fossil fuel, no naked flame, no need for an oil storage tank or cylinders of highly flammable gas to fuel your heating, you can see that the safety argument for installing an ASHP is very strong indeed.

Seasonal Coefficient of Performance


ASHP are efficient both in the winter and summer, thanks to an outstanding SCOP (seasonal coefficient of performance). The SCOP of a heat pump is a way to measure its efficiency by comparing the power input needed to produce heat compared to the amount of heat output.

Easy Installation


Installing an ASHP can take as little as two days.

They typically don’t require planning permission and the disruption to your property is always kept to an absolute minimum.

Low Maintenance

Servicing and maintenance should be done by a qualified technician annually, which will ensure optimal performance of your heat pump. In addition to the annual service, to help your heat pump operate effectively, you should keep the air intake clear of any debris, leaves, foliage, etc.

Long Life

ASHP have a long lifespan, and with proper maintenance, they can be operational for up to 20 years. There are some differences between manufacturers but the majority offer between 5 and 7 years warranty.

No Fuel Storage


No fuel storage is needed with an ASHP. Not relying on fuel such as oil or LPG means you can say goodbye to the cylinders or tank in your garden, the cost of those fuels and the additional fees for fuel deliveries.

Solar Power


ASHP can be powered by solar energy (using solar panels) instead of electricity from the grid. So installing a heat pump and Solar Panels together is the perfect combination

Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP)
The efficiency of an ASHP is measured by the SCOP. This refers to the maximum efficiency with which the heat pump can run. Most ASHP manufacturers will rate their product as having a SCOP between 3.5 and 4.5, but in some cases, it can be as high as 5.5.

The SCOP refers to how many kilowatts of heat 1 kilowatt of electricity can produce. An ASHP with a SCOP of 4 will produce 4 kilowatts of heat. By comparison a gas boiler running at optimum efficiency will have a SCOP of 1, meaning the heat pump will provide you with four times more heat for the same energy input. In reality a gas boiler rarely operates at a SCOP of 1 so the improvements created by switching are even greater.
