Discover how air source heat pumps can provide a sustainable and efficient way to heat your home or business. Read on to find out more.
Are you looking for an eco-friendly, cost-effective way to heat your home or business? An Air Source Heat Pump could be an ideal solution.
We’ll dive into the benefits of air source heat pumps and explore how they work to keep your space comfortable while reducing your carbon footprint and energy costs. So, let’s get started!
Air source heat pumps work by pulling in air from outside and using it to heat a special refrigerant liquid. As it warms up, the liquid turns into a gas, which is compressed to increase its temperature. This gas works to heat your property.
Once the gas cools, it becomes liquid again, allowing it to be re-used at the start of the next heating cycle. The whole process uses only a small amount of electricity, making it a fantastic renewable option.
We are proud to install Ecodan Mitsubishi heat pumps. These powerhouses are the ideal option for residential homes and small commercial spaces (get in touch with us to discuss low-carbon heating systems for larger commercial spaces).
A compact outdoor unit, discreetly installed just outside your home, uses the warmth in the air to provide the juice for radiators, underfloor heating, and even hot water on demand. Most installations will also include a hot water cylinder to provide that continuous hot water, but depending on the type of water cylinder you have, integration between the two systems can sometimes take place.
Lastly, the controls for your Mitsubsuhsi ASHP are right at the tips of your fingers, with a range of options available. Download the MELCloud app to your phone or the smart device of your choice to control your system remotely, as well as check in on how it’s performing. For making changes in the home, there is also the advanced wireless controller, an easy-to-use controller that allows you to control the temperature and easily set up things like holiday mode and more.

Where do we even start? There are a wide variety of benefits to investing in an air source heat pump for your property. Some of our favourite key benefits include:
It does not need to be warm outside for a heat pump to use the air to power central heating, hot water tanks and underfloor heating. Even in freezing temperatures, an air source heat pump will get the job done.
Find out more about the conditions ASHP’s will work in on our blog.
The external heat pump unit is compact & doesn’t take up too much space on your property. Externally and internally ASHP’s take up little space adn do not generally require extensive ductwork or piping.
This is our favourite reason of all. Air source heat pumps are the ideal way to lower your carbon footprint. Pumps powered by traditional sources of electricity use significantly less power than is required to heat a home either by electricity, gas or oil.
You can make even less of an impact by powering the pump via solar (something we would be more than happy to help you with).
Yes, there are a range of government grants available to help you afford heat pumps for your property. Replacing gas boilers across the UK with clean energy alternatives is a part of the UK Government’s plans to help reach Net Zero for 2050, and as such, a range of grants and loans exist to help with the cost of a heat pump and its installation.
The ‘Boiler Upgrade Scheme’ can help you to afford a new air source heat pump for your property. The scheme provides homeowners with £5,000 to help them with the initial cost of upgrading from a gas or fossil fuel boiler to a low-carbon alternative.
For air source heat pumps in Scotland, you can apply for a £7,500 grant from Home Energy Scotland. You can also get a £1,500 top-up if you live in a rural area.
