Heat pumps

Low-carbon warmth, all year round.

An air source heat pump draws heat from the outside air, even in winter, to provide efficient heating and hot water for your home.

What is an air source heat pump?

Moving heat, rather than burning fuel.

A heat pump works like a fridge in reverse. It absorbs heat from the outside air, raises its temperature using a compressor, and transfers it into your radiators, underfloor heating and hot water cylinder.

Because it moves heat rather than generating it, a well-designed system can deliver several units of heat for every unit of electricity it uses.

EfficientMore heat out than electricity in.
Low carbonNo fossil fuels burned at home.
Solar-friendlyPairs well with solar PV and batteries.
Well-insulated family home suitable for a heat pump
