Install Air Source Heat Pumps with Gas Safe

An air-source heat pump (ASHP), sometimes referred to as an air to water heat pump is a heating system that works by transferring heat absorbed from the outside air into the property.

This is an extremely green form of energy that is becoming increasingly popular with homeowners in the UK. Air source heat pumps are generally more efficient than gas boilers, but are not suitable for every home.

As part of the Entire Energy Solutions Group, we provide a full service for air source heat pumps including installation and repairs through our sister company, Go Green Solar.

What is an Air Source Heat Pump?

An air source heat pump is a type of low carbon heating system that works by taking heat from the air and boosting it to a higher temperature using a compressor.

To provide heat to a home, air is taken from outside the property and heated using a compressor before being transferred into the home through a heat exchanger.

Air source heat pumps look very similar to air conditioning units and sit on the exterior of the home, unlike a boiler.

Air source heat pumps provide the greatest benefit to well-insulated homes. The more efficient the home is, the more effective the pump will be.

Types Of Boiler We Can Work With

Air source heat pumps offer a number of benefits including:

Low-cost method of heating your home
Eligible for financial incentives through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
More energy-efficient method of heating
Reduces your carbon footprint
Safe method of heating with no combustion involved
Can also provide cooling in the warmer months
Less disruptive installation than other renewable energy methods

Boiler Upgrade Scheme

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) is a scheme set up by the UK government which aims to encourage greater use of renewable heating technologies.

Under the scheme, households can get £7,500 off the of an air source heat pump.

The scheme is available until 2027 and is open to domestic and small non-domestic properties (such as second homes) in England and Wales.
