Energy efficiency in the home is important, and this means that many homeowners in the UK are exploring alternatives to traditional heating. Something that is getting more and more popular is the air source heat pump, which both helps to reduce energy bills and also has a lower impact on the environment.
It works by taking in air outside the property and using it to warm your home and your water. It works even in cold weather, as it takes heat from the air outside.

Before you decide to get an air source heat pump installed in your home, here are some of the things that you should consider…
Do you Have Space?
The unit that goes outside is about the size of a washing machine, so you need to factor this in when you are planning to have it installed and ensure that it is able to be installed in a place that has good airflow and where it is unlikely to be damaged.
Is Your Home Well Insulated?
Because air source heat pumps produce heat at a lower temperature, they are not effective for homes with very poor insulation.
What is the Upfront Cost?
The upfront cost of an air source heat pump can vary quite a lot depending on the system and the size of your property, so can be anywhere from around £7000 to £13 000.
