Air Source Heat Pumps – Efficient, Reliable Heating for UK Homes
What is an Air Source Heat Pump?
An air source heat pump (ASHP) is a highly efficient heating system that works by absorbing heat from the outside air—even when temperatures drop to -20°C. The system then compresses this heat to warm your home’s radiators, underfloor heating, and hot water cylinder.
With the upcoming 2030 ban on new gas boiler installations, heat pumps are becoming the preferred low‑carbon alternative for UK homeowners looking to cut energy bills and future‑proof their properties.
Benefits of Installing an Air Source Heat Pump
Lower energy bills:
ASHPs are far more efficient than older gas or oil boilers, so you could save money on heating—especially if combined with solar panels to provide free electricity.
Reduced carbon footprint:
Heat pumps use renewable heat from the air, meaning fewer carbon emissions and a greener home.
Long lifespan and reliability:
With regular servicing, air source heat pumps can last over 20 years, providing consistent and reliable heating.
Future‑proof your home:
Avoid future restrictions on fossil fuel heating systems and align your home with the UK’s net zero goals.
Could you get help with the cost?
Many homeowners and landlords could be eligible for ECO4 funding, a UK government scheme that helps cover the cost of energy efficiency projects.

Air Source Heat Pump FAQs
Which homes can have an air source heat pump?
Most UK homes can have an ASHP fitted, regardless of age or size. The key requirement is an outdoor space for the unit to draw in fresh air.
Do they take up much space?
The outdoor unit is typically smaller than an oil or LPG tank. Inside, you’ll need space for a hot water cylinder—usually an airing cupboard or utility room.
How much does installation cost?
Costs vary depending on property size and heating requirements. Thanks to ECO4 funding and flexible finance options, you may be able to cover part or all of the cost.
