Air Source Heat Pumps for
Homes & Businesses
Efficient, low-carbon heating designed for modern buildings. Reduce
your heating costs and environmental impact with renewable
technology.
What Is an Air Source Heat Pump?
An air source heat pump (ASHP) extracts heat from the outside air—even when temperatures are as low as -15°C—and uses it to heat your home and hot water. Think of it as a refrigerator working in reverse.
The system uses electricity to power the heat transfer process, but for every unit of electricity used, it typically produces 3-4 units of heat energy. This makes heat pumps significantly more efficient than traditional heating systems.
Heat pumps work best when paired with well-insulated properties and low-temperature heating systems like underfloor heating or appropriately sized radiators.
How It Works
Heat Absorption
The outdoor unit absorbs heat energy from the ambient air
Compression
A compressor increases the temperature of the absorbed heat
Heat Transfer
Heat is transferred to your heating and hot water system
Distribution
Warm water circulates through radiators or underfloor heating
Why Choose an Air Source Heat Pump?
Reduced Heating Costs
Air source heat pumps can reduce heating bills by up to 50% compared to traditional systems, depending on your current setup.
Lower Carbon Emissions
Heat pumps produce significantly fewer carbon emissions than gas or oil boilers, helping you reduce your environmental impact.
Solar PV Integration
Power your heat pump with on-site solar generation for maximum efficiency and even greater savings on running costs.
Year-Round Comfort
Modern heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, keeping your property comfortable throughout the seasons.
Who Are Heat Pumps Best Suited For?
Heat pumps work best in certain property types and configurations. Our
assessment will determine if your property is suitable.
Well-Insulated Properties
Properties with good insulation levels benefit most from heat pump installations. A home energy assessment can determine suitability.
New Builds & Retrofits
Ideal for new constructions designed with efficiency in mind, and suitable for many retrofit projects with appropriate preparation.
Low-Temperature Heating Systems
Works best with underfloor heating or larger radiators that operate efficiently at lower water temperatures.
