A smarter, greener choice
Air Source Heat Pumps are quickly becoming one of the most relevant and cost-effective alternatives to electric, gas, or oil boilers for heating homes and businesses.
Switching to an air-source heat pump could be a game changer for you and your family, helping you lower your carbon footprint and combat rising energy bills.

Did you know?
In the UK, 26 million gas boilers produce twice as many climate-heating carbon emissions compared to all the nation’s gas-fired power stations combined.
UK power stations emit around 41 million tonnes of carbon, while domestic boilers account for 92 million tonnes.
According to Ofgem, gas boilers also produce eight times more nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) than all the UK’s gas-fired power stations. NO₂ is a major air pollutant linked to tens of thousands of early deaths in the UK annually.

Now is the time to switch!
While gas boilers are no longer being banned under the current Labour government, the plan to decarbonise Britain is still a very high priority for the heat and buildings strategy.
Heat Pumps will play a pivotal role in achieving our CO2 emissions targets, which has led to extending the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to 2028, incentivising householders to move across to clean low-carbon alternatives.
Air source heat pumps are a smart, sustainable choice because they are far more efficient than even a new gas boiler.

Clean, efficient heating
With more energy suppliers offering renewable electricity and dedicated heat pump tariffs, there’s never been a better time to switch to clean, electric heating and avoid burning oil or gas.
A modern gas boiler can work at around 95% efficiency, whereas a properly designed air source heat pump can operate between 300% to 500% efficiency. This means that for every 1 kW of electricity consumed, an air source heat pump can produce between 3 kW and 5 kW of useful heat energy.

Benefits of an air source heat pump
Lower your energy bills
By using your heat pump properly and taking advantage of its design, you can reduce your energy bills.
Reduce your energy use
Unlike traditional boilers that burn fossil fuels, heat pumps use electricity to absorb heat from the air, ground, or water and transfer it indoors; though they consume less electrical energy overall, heat pumps deliver significantly more heat energy to a home than they consume in electricity.
Cut your carbon emissions
A heat pump is a low-carbon heating source that emits fewer greenhouse gases than gas or oil boilers.
Freedom from variable fuel prices
An air source heat pump offers several key benefits. Most importantly, it taps into ambient air—a free and limitless heat source from a human perspective. This reduces dependence on fuel providers, as air is not vulnerable to economic or political shifts like oil and gas. It also eliminates the need for chimneys and flue inspectors. Air source heat pumps provide reliable operation and can increase a property’s value. Homeowners who install one gain independence from fluctuating fuel costs and boost their home’s worth.
Heat pumps are more environmentally friendly
Air source heat pumps are a more sustainable heating option compared to traditional oil or gas systems. They help homes become more energy efficient and reduce carbon footprints. Heat pumps use electricity to run, but do so more efficiently than other heaters – typically using only a quarter of the energy that a gas boiler would. Furthermore, pairing heat pumps with renewable electricity sources like solar panels can lower emissions even more.
Suitable for indoor or outdoor installation
Air source heat pumps are among the most commonly used heat pumps, not only because of their relatively low investment costs but also due to their flexible installation options.
The air source heat pump provides ecological and climate policy benefits.
By using an air source heat pump system, homeowners can keep heating costs low over time while also significantly reducing CO2 emissions and environmental impact. Furthermore, if homeowners purchase electricity from renewable sources to power the heat pump, the system can operate with net-zero CO2 emissions.
Heat pumps have a longer lifespan than a traditional gas boilers
While a traditional gas boiler typically lasts about 15 years and becomes less efficient over time, requiring more effort to heat a home, a well-maintained air source heat pump can last up to 20 years. Warranties typically range from 2 to 10 years, depending on the manufacturer.

How does an air source heat pump work?
An air source heat pump transfers heat from the outside air to water, heating rooms in your home through radiators or underfloor heating. The pump can also heat water stored in a hot water cylinder for domestic use like taps, showers, and baths.
water_pumpHeat Exchange
The air’s heat is absorbed into a fluid, which then passes through a heat exchanger into the heat pump. There, the fluid’s temperature is raised before the heat is transferred to water.
mode_fanFan Magic
In air source heat pumps, the cold refrigerant starts its journey in the evaporator, where it absorbs heat energy from outside air blown across a heat exchanger by fans. Although the outside air is cool in winter, there is still ample heat energy to extract due to the large volume of air passing through the heat exchanger.
