Air Source Heat Pumps
Heat pumps deliver heat at lower temperatures over much longer periods. During the winter they may need to be on constantly to heat your home efficiently. You will also notice that radiators won’t feel as hot to the touch as they might do when you are using a gas or oil boiler. It can get heat from the air even when the temperature is as low as -15° C. Heat pumps have some impact on the environment as they need electricity to run, but the heat they extract from the ground, air, or water is constantly being renewed naturally.
A typical system costs between £7,000 and £11,000. Running costs will vary depending on a number of factors including the size of your home, how well insulated it is and what room temperatures you are aiming to achieve.

Maintenance
Depending on the manufacturer of your Heat pump, they can typically operate for 20 years or more, however they do require regular scheduled maintenance. We recommend you check the heat pump yearly to ensure check that the air inlet grill and evaporator are free of leaves or other debris. Every 3-5 years a detailed check by a professional installer is advised so they can make sure the antifreeze and its concentration is at the correct level.
Additional checks include:
- Removing any plants that have started to grow near the heat pump unit
- Check your central heating pressure gauge
- Use anti-freeze to prevent the heat pump from freezing in the winter
