What is an Air-Source Heat Pump

Air Source Heat Pumps generate heat from air, even in temperatures as low as -20°C, to efficiently warm your home. Instead of creating heat, they transfer it, cutting carbon footprint by up to 35% compared to traditional systems. It’s a smart, eco-friendly way to stay comfortable year-round while saving on costs.

Benefits of ASHP

ASHPs operate at high efficiency, meaning less energy is consumed for your heating needs. Though savings can depend on your previous setup, switching to an ASHP can result in noticeable cost reductions, especially if transitioning from electric or fuel-based heating systems

Better Efficiency & Savings

ASHPs require minimal maintenance and are designed for resilience, providing reliable, consistent heating and reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.

Low Maintenance

Eligibility for Government Schemes

A transition to sustainable heating can be supported by incentives like the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), helping to offset installation costs. Plus, any excess energy you produce can return to the grid, benefiting both you and the environment

By utilising a renewable resource — air — these systems have a much lower environmental impact. Shifting to an ASHP from traditional heating can be a substantial step towards a sustainable, eco-friendly home

Reduced Carbon Emissions

Installation Process

Sumbit Application

First, we need to complete an application form, which allows us to assess your property according to grant guidelines. An agent will then contact you to discuss potential upgrades and finalise your application.

Initial Survey

A certified technician will assess your current system and heating requirements, providing a detailed overview that often reveals potential energy savings of 15-20%.

Technical Survey

After the initial survey is complete and the mock EPC passes, your application is fully vetted. We’ll then arrange a final technical survey to confirm the specifics of the work. Following this, we'll provide an installation date.

Installation

Professional installation usually takes less than 72 hours following the technical assessment, with a seamless changeover that ensures no disruption to your home heating.
