Air Source Heat Pump
Extract ambient heat from the outside air to run your central heating, lowering carbon output by up to 70%.
Service Overview
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) are a modern, low-carbon alternative to traditional gas or oil boilers. An ASHP operates like a refrigerator in reverse. It absorbs heat from the outside air (even in temperatures as low as -15°C), compresses it to raise the temperature, and transfers that heat into your home's hot water cylinder and radiator network. Because they generate 3 to 4 units of heat energy for every 1 unit of electricity they consume, they are incredibly efficient and significantly reduce household carbon emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do heat pumps work in freezing winter conditions?
Yes. Modern air source heat pumps are designed to operate efficiently at sub-zero temperatures, extracting heat from air as cold as -20°C.
Do I need larger radiators for a heat pump?
Because heat pumps run at lower water flow temperatures than gas boilers, we may need to upgrade some of your radiators to larger models to ensure adequate heat distribution.
