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 a lower carbon footprint, providing a sustainable and cost-effective way to heat your property.

Frequently asked questions about air source heat pumps

At GRS Insulation, we are committed to providing you with clear and comprehensive information about air source heat pumps. Our expertise ensures a smooth and efficient installation process, designed to deliver long-term efficiency and comfort for your home.

What makes GRS Insulation the best choice for installation?

We offer the government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), providing an upfront grant towards replacing fossil fuel heating with a heat pump in England and Wales. This can provide a grant to go 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.

How does GRS Insulation ensure long-term efficiency?

We assess your property and existing heating system thoroughly to specify an installation that performs optimally. Our approach ensures your air source heat pump works effectively with your home's structure for maximum 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.

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.
