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.
