Clear advice, a tidy install, and a system designed for comfort and long term efficiency.

  • A home survey to check suitability and recommend the right approach
  • Practical guidance on running costs, controls, and what changes make the biggest difference
  • Support with routes to funding where applicable, plus straightforward next steps

About air source heat pumps

An air source heat pump takes heat from the air outside and transfers it into your home. It runs at lower temperatures than a typical boiler, which is why a good setup is all about the home as a whole, insulation, airflow, and the right controls.

  • Comfort focused heating that stays steady, rather than blasting on and off
  • Works best when the home holds heat well and the system is sized properly
  • Great option when you want to move away from older, inefficient heating
Good to know

A heat pump upgrade is often most successful when insulation and ventilation are part of the plan too.

Quick FAQs

Straight answers to the questions we get asked most.

Is a heat pump right for my home?
Many homes are suitable, but it depends on insulation levels, heat loss, and available space outside. The easiest way to know is a quick survey and a simple suitability check.
Do I need a hot water cylinder?
In most cases, yes. Heat pumps commonly work with a cylinder for hot water storage. We will explain what that looks like in your home and where it can go.
How loud are the outdoor units?
Modern units are designed to be quiet. Positioning matters, so we plan placement sensibly and talk you through any considerations for neighbours and outdoor spaces.
Will it save me money?
Running costs depend on your home, your existing system, and how you use heating. A well designed setup can be very cost effective, especially when paired with good insulation and sensible controls.

Key benefits

Heat pumps are a comfort upgrade as much as an efficiency upgrade. When the system is designed properly, the home feels more consistent, with better control and fewer cold spots.

  • Comfort first: steady background warmth rather than peaks and drops
  • Better control: modern controls that help avoid wasted heat
  • Lower carbon: an upgrade that supports long term sustainability
  • Future proof: a strong option if you want to move away from older heating
  • Support available: we can guide you through eligibility routes if they apply
Quick tip

Even small improvements, like better insulation or draft reduction, can make a heat pump setup perform noticeably better.

How heat pumps work

The simplest way to think about a heat pump is that it moves heat, rather than creating it by burning fuel. It takes low level heat from the air outside, boosts it, and transfers it into your heating and hot water system.

1) Absorb heat

The outdoor unit captures heat energy from the air, even when it feels cold outside.

2) Boost the temperature

That energy is raised to a useful temperature inside the system.

3) Heat your home

The heat is transferred into your home through your heating system and hot water cylinder.

4) Control and efficiency

Controls keep temperatures steady so you stay comfortable without wasting energy.

Good to know

Good design is everything. We focus on the home setup, not just the unit itself, so the whole system performs properly.

Is my home suitable?

Most suitability questions come down to heat loss, space, and how your home currently performs. We keep it simple and talk you through it in plain English.

  • Insulation: the better your home holds heat, the better the results
  • Heating setup: we check what you have and what needs adjusting
  • Outdoor space: sensible placement for airflow and access
  • Hot water: cylinder options and where it can go
  • Controls: modern controls help avoid wasted heat and overheating
Funding routes

We deliver upgrades through two routes: a government funded route where eligibility applies, and an able to pay route for homeowners funding the install themselves. The quickest next step is to check eligibility, then we can advise what makes sense for your home.

What happens next

A simple, no stress process.

Survey

We look at the property, your current heating, and what you want to improve.

Recommendation

You get clear advice on the best route, the right setup, and what to do first.
