Understanding air source heat pumps

An air source heat pump is an energy-efficient heating system that extracts warmth from the outside air and transfers it into your home to provide heating and hot water. It works much like a refrigerator in reverse! The main benefit for a homeowner is significantly reduced energy bills and a lower carbon footprint, providing a sustainable and cost-effective way to heat your property.

BUS scheme 

Every heat pump installation is carefully designed to deliver long-term efficiency, comfort, and performance. We assess your property's insulation, heating system, and hot water requirements to ensure the system is correctly specified for your home. Where insulation upgrades are needed, we'll advise you before installation, as insulation and heat pumps work best together. Our service includes system design, flow temperature assessment, hot water cylinder and controls planning, as well as full commissioning, testing, and handover. If you're eligible, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) can provide a government grant of up to £9,000  towards the installation of an air source heat pump in England and Wales. We will confirm your eligibility during the survey stage, handle the grant application on your behalf where applicable, and guide you through the entire process from start to finish.

This can provide £9,000 towards an air source heat pump. We will confirm your eligibility during the survey stage and explain the process before you proceed.

Do air source heat pumps perform well without insulation?
Heat pumps perform best in homes with good insulation and reduced heat loss. If your home needs fabric upgrades first, we’ll tell you. We can deliver insulation upgrades as part of a joined-up plan, ensuring your heat pump operates at peak efficiency.

Is there a grant available for air source heat pumps?
Yes, the BUS scheme offers typically one grant per property. It is installer-led, meaning we apply for the voucher on your behalf. This significantly reduces the upfront cost of your new heat pump.

Are hybrid heating systems eligible for the grant?
Hybrid systems, such as a gas boiler combined with a heat pump, are generally not eligible for the BUS grant. We will discuss your specific heating needs and eligibility during our survey.

What should I do if my home needs insulation upgrades?
If your home requires insulation improvements, we can provide these upgrades as part of a comprehensive package. We ensure that insulation and heat pumps work together seamlessly for the best performance.
