You’ve heard about air source heat pumps, but what do they really do for your home? In simple terms, they pull heat from the air outside—yes, even when it’s cold—and use it to keep your home warm and comfy.
Unlike gas or oil systems, they work at lower temperatures and run longer to maintain that steady warmth you need on colder days. If you’re swapping out electric storage heaters, oil or LPG, the savings on your heating bills can be noticeable.
But there’s one key factor—insulation. A well-insulated home holds onto the heat your system produces, making your pump work smarter, not harder.

How It Works for Your Home
The pump itself sits outside your house, usually at the side or back, where there’s room for airflow. Inside, there’s a compact unit to handle your heating and hot water. It’s much smaller than a typical boiler, so it doesn’t take up too much space.
Unlike a ground source heat pump, there’s no digging up your garden. And if you live in a listed building, don’t worry—we’ll help you understand any planning permissions you might need and make sure everything meets building regulations.
