What Is an Air Source Heat Pump?

An air source heat pump is a compact box-shaped unit outside your home. It is usually floor-standing on the ground and similar in size to a large outdoor air conditioning unit.

It works by drawing heat from the air, even in cold temperatures, and transferring it indoors to heat your radiators, underfloor system, and hot water.

  • Looks like: A slim, quiet outdoor box with a fan
  • Runs on electricity – Yes, electricity
  • Connects to radiators or underfloor heating circuits and hot water storage cylinders
  • Delivers a steady, comfortable warmth throughout the home and priority heat that heats your hot water cylinder
  • Works all year round, even in freezing weather
  • It’s super efficient to run, for example, most modern gas boilers are now around 90% efficient. ASHP target 00% per unit efficiency. 👉 See Looking after your air source heat pump to learn what’s involved in keeping it running smoothly year after year.
  • Cheaper to run per unit when coupled with ASHP smart electric tariff

How Much Does It Cost?

We’ll be straight with you: a typical air source heat pump costs around £10,000 – but with the £7,500 Government Grant, you could pay as little as £2,500 or less. This grant is part of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, a government initiative to encourage homeowners to switch to more energy-efficient heating systems. 

We manage the grant process for you, so you don’t have to worry about complicated forms or hidden charges.

  • We manage the grant process for you. 
  • No complicated forms or hidden charges
  • Just clear advice, upfront pricing, and a job done properly

Grant funding is available now — but may change in future. Don’t wait.

Not Quite Ready to Switch? Go Hybrid Instead

You don’t have to if you’re not ready to give up your boiler.

A hybrid system combines your current boiler with a new heat pump:

  • The heat pump covers your everyday needs
  • The boiler kicks in for extra demand
  • Lower running costs without losing reliability 

Perfect for homes that need a transitional solution and are still eligible for grant support.

Is My Home Suitable?

Let’s keep it simple. Your home may be suitable if you have:

  • Double glazing
  • Loft or wall insulation
  • Space outside for a compact external unit
  • A place for a hot water cylinder inside
  • Underfloor heating or space for larger radiators
