How Do Air Source Heat Pumps Work?
Air source heat pumps extract heat from the air outside (even in cold weather) and use it to warm your home and hot water. They can be seen as much like a fridge but in reverse!

Grants & Funding:
You could be eligible for a government grant of £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). This significantly reduces the upfront cost of installing an air source heat pump.
We’ll guide you through the process and help you apply.
Step by step guide on how they Work
1. Extracting Heat from Outside Air
 Even in freezing temperatures, the air holds heat. The outdoor unit draws in air and passes it over coils filled with refrigerant, which absorbs the heat and evaporates into a gas.
2. Compressing the Heat
 This gas is compressed, raising its temperature dramatically. The heat pump boosts the heat energy, making it warm enough to heat your home efficiently even in winter.
3. Heating Your Home
The hot gas transfers its heat to water via a heat exchanger. That water is circulated through your radiators or underfloor heating to warm your living spaces.
4. Cooling & Recycling the Refrigerant
 After the heat is transferred, the refrigerant cools and returns to liquid. It’s then depressurised and sent back outside to absorb more air-source heat the cycle repeats.
5. Hot Water Supply
 Many air source systems also heat water for your home. A cylinder stores hot water for use in baths, showers, and taps, ensuring consistent availability.
6. Efficient & Eco-Friendly
 Air source heat pumps are up to 300–400% efficient — producing 3–4 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity used. They reduce carbon emissions and pair perfectly with underfloor heating systems.
