With a rise in energy prices, homeowners are now looking for alternative ways to Heat their homes and air source Heat Pumps have become a popular choice. This is an efficient way to heat your home via renewable energy. It collects the heat from the outside air and uses it to transfer the warmth throughout your home. 

Having air source heat Pumps installed at your home means you will be generating your own energy and will have to rely less, if at all, on the national grid. This is especially true in well-insulated homes because the heat that is generated from the heat pumps can’t escape as easily and you can benefit from a comfortable temperature quicker. 

An air source heat pump takes heat from the air and boosts it to a higher temperature using a compressor. It then condenses back into a liquid to release its stored heat. The heat is then moved to your radiators or underfloor heating, with the rest being stored in your hot water cylinder ready for later use. 

Usually air source heat pumps are installed outdoors at the side or the back of your property. They also need enough room around them so that air can circulate. Unlike ground source heat pumps, air source heat pumps don’t need any digging to install them so they are up and running relatively quickly. 

Although air source heat pumps may appear expensive to switch to, the UK government is currently offering a grant of  £5,000 to homeowners per property installing an air source heat pump system as part of the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. The initial cost of purchasing and installing an air source heat pump can be higher compared to traditional systems but long-term energy savings could offset this.
