This is dependent on a number of factors, including the size of your home, the climate you live in, and the efficiency of the heat pump. However, in general, air source heat pumps are not expensive to run. The cost could potentially be driven down even further with the addition of a solar energy installation, which would allow you to become completely self-sufficient away from the National Grid.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers grants of up to £7,500 towards the installation of air source heat pumps. Like with ECO4, there are specific eligibility criteria you’ll have to meet. Not sure where to start? Give us a call, and we’ll walk you through the process.
According to the Energy Saving Trust, the running costs of an air source heat pump are typically around 20%-50% lower than the running costs of a gas boiler. This is because they are more efficient at extracting heat from the air than gas boilers.

Most homes are a great fit for air source heat pumps, especially those with good insulation and some outdoor space for the unit.
An air source heat pump doesn’t need much space – they’re slightly larger than a washing machine. The unit is placed outside, so it won’t take up any room inside your home. If you don’t already have a suitable hot water cylinder, this will be required in your home, but our team will work with you to find the most appropriate location.
Yes, they do! Air source heat pumps work well even in cold weather, drawing heat from the air to keep your home warm.

In fact, heat pumps are commonly used in much colder countries, such as Sweden and Norway, showing just how effective they can be.
Air source heat pumps are designed to be quiet, producing a gentle hum similar to a fridge, and since the outdoor unit is built to minimise noise, it shouldn’t disturb you or your neighbours.
