Looking to update the heating system in your home?
Air source heat pump is an efficient alternative that helps reduce your carbon footprint and save energy.
Why get an air source heat pump?
Air source heat pumps provide an efficient, low carbon heating alternative to gas, LPG and other electrical heating systems.
An energy-efficient air source heat pump (ASHP) works like a fridge but in reverse. It absorbs heat from the outside air and circulates it through your heating system. Air source heat pump helps you:
- Enjoy reliable heating and hot water all year round
- Lower your carbon footprint
- Save energy and tonnes of carbon(1) over time

- Space for a water tank (for the most carbon-efficient heat pump)
- Your home needs to have good insulation
