Trusted air source heat pump installers

Yes, air source heat pumps are typically cheaper to run than gas boilers over time. While electricity is more expensive than gas per unit, heat pumps are much more efficient – producing up to 3 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity used. This means lower energy bills, especially in well-insulated homes.

Yes, homeowners in the UK can apply for government incentives like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which offers grants of up to £7,500 towards installation. Some may also qualify for support through the ECO4 scheme or local authority funding, though eligibility criteria for this is far stricter.

Installing an air source heat pump involves a home survey, fitting the outdoor unit, connecting it to your heating and hot water system, and electrical setup. Once installed, the system is tested and handed over. The process is usually completed within 3 to 5 days by certified air source heat pump installers.

Air source heat pumps need very little maintenance. It’s recommended to:

• Check the outdoor unit for leaves or debris
• Clean filters if needed
• Book an annual service with a qualified engineer

Most systems last 15–20 years with regular checks.

An air source heat pump typically takes 3 to 5 days to install, depending on the size of the property and whether any upgrades to your radiators or hot water system are needed.

Most UK homes can use an air source heat pump, including detached, semi-detached, and terraced properties. Homes with good insulation will see the biggest benefits. Older homes may need upgrades like better insulation or larger radiators for the most efficiency.

The outdoor unit is roughly the same size as a regular washing machine and is usually placed at ground level outside. You may also need space indoors for a hot water cylinder and any additional equipment, depending on the system type.

Yes, air source heat pumps work efficiently in winter – even in temperatures as low as -15°C. They extract heat from the outside air and use it to warm your home no matter the weather, though proper insulation helps maintain the system’s efficiency.

No, modern air source heat pumps are quiet, typically producing around 40–60 decibels – similar to a standard fridge. The outdoor unit is designed to run with minimal noise, and indoor components are usually near-silent.

Yes, but older homes may need upgrades like improved insulation or larger radiators to get the most from an air source heat pump. With the right setup, they can work just as effectively in period properties as they do in new builds.
