FAQs

An air source heat pump is a low-carbon technology that extracts heat energy from the air, even when it is cold outside, and uses it to warm your home.

Air source heat pumps perform exceptionally well, able to work at over 400% efficiency. Because they use a renewable, natural source of heat, they produce far fewer CO2 emissions than fossil fuel heaters. They also have comparatively low running costs.

Air source heat pumps extract heat from the air outside your home and absorb it into a liquid. This liquid then passes through a heat exchanger into the heat pump, which increases the temperature and transfers the heat to cool air or water. Finally, the heat is sent to your radiators, underfloor heating, or hot water tank.

Yes! Anyone replacing their gas or oil boiler with a low carbon heating system (such as heat pumps) can apply for a £5,000 grant from the government.

Air source pumps are generally quieter than fossil fuel boilers; they are around the same decimal as an air conditioner. When we install your unit, we will make sure it isn’t placed anywhere that could disturb you or your neighbours.

Yes. An air source heat pump will usually be able to provide all the heating and hot water you need. In addition, they are typically more efficient than a gas boiler, saving you money on your heating bills.

Compared to boilers, air source heat pumps are very safe. The refrigerant is completely sealed and kept outside the home, and there is no risk of carbon monoxide leaks. The worst you can expect is a breakdown or water leak.

Yes, air source heat pumps are an energy efficient heat source when designed to full MCS Standards.

Heat from air source heat pumps can be used for heating your home via radiators or underfloor heating, as well as for hot water.

Our air source heat pumps can work productively in temperatures as low as -25.

Yes, our air source heat pumps are ideal for use within commercial properties.
