Air Source Heat Pumps

Air source heat pumps are a lower-carbon source of heating for your home. They are highly efficient and do not rely on fossil fuels. As gas heating is being phased out in the UK, air source heat pumps are likely to be one of the main means by which homes will be heated in the future.

As heat pumps are best suited to low temperature heating systems (where the heating fluid is heated to a lower temperature than by a traditional boiler), it operates best being kept on a standby low temperature. This ensures that it reaches effective temperatures at peak periods, making it important that the home must be well insulated and airtight for the system to work effectively.

The running cost will vary depending on the size of your home, any heating system upgrade and any savings will also depend on the fuel type being replaced
