Air Source heat pump installation London

An Air Source Heat Pump will enable you to generate your own renewable heat and potentially save money on your energy bills. They deliver heat at lower temperatures than gas and oil boilers. So you’ll need to run them for much longer periods to heat your home to a comfortable temperature.  Heat pumps can save you more on your heating bills if you’re replacing an expensive system such as electric storage heaters, oil, LPG or coal, rather than gas. But remember, a well-insulated home is essential – otherwise the heat the pump is generating escapes more easily.

Air source heat pumps are usually positioned outdoors at the side or back of a property. They need plenty of space around them for air to circulate. Inside, you’ll usually have a unit containing pumps and hot water. It’s usually smaller than a standard boiler. They are less disruptive to install than ground source heat pumps, as they do not require any digging in your garden. Check first whether you will need planning permission for an air source heat pump. If you live in a listed building, then you’ll usually need the consent of your local authority. Also check that your installation will meet the building regulations in your area.
