How do Heat Pumps Work?
The Air Source Heat Pump takes heat from the air and boosts it to a higher temperature using a heat pump. Using electricity and refrigerant technology, the pump compresses refrigerant to increase its temperature. It then condenses back into a liquid to release it as stored heat. Heat is then sent to your radiators or underfloor heating.
Heat pump installation is a smart investment for all homeowners, they use less energy to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, lower your energy consumption leading to reduced energy bills. Plus, Heat Pumps help reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower carbon emissions, contributing to a greener, more sustainable environment.
with Government funding for Heat Pumps through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a Government incentive that will assist with the cost of upgrading your heating
system with an Air Source Heat Pump.
In addition, there is now NO VAT on Heat Pumps – reducing the cost even further.

We also offer Servicing for Air Source Heat Pumps and Any Associated Water Cylinder
Here's why Annual Servicing is important...
-
Efficiency:
Regular maintenance, like cleaning and checking components, keeps the heat pump operating at peak efficiency, saving energy and reducing costs.
-
Early Fault Detection:
Servicing can identify potential problems before they escalate into major issues, preventing inconvenient and expensive repairs.
-
Warranty Compliance:
Many heat pump warranties require annual servicing by a qualified technician to remain valid.
-
System Longevity:
Proper maintenance extends the lifespan of the heat pump, potentially saving you from premature replacement.
