Air source heat pump is an economical and effective way to provide heating and hot water needs without using fossil fuel, such as natural gas. Moreover, as the main source of heat is the environment itself, the amount of energy input from grid required to heat your home is reduced compared to other methods.
An air source heat pump system is an energy-efficient option that draws heat from the outdoor air and transfers it indoors to supply heating and hot water for your home. Versatile and environmentally friendly, we believe it represents the future of sustainable home heating. Discover more about the operation of air source heat pumps.
Heat pumps are approximately 3 to 4 times more efficient than LPG, oil, electricity, and gas boilers, which can lead to significant annual savings on your energy bills.
With the ban on gas boilers in new buildings starting in 2025 and a complete installation ban by 2035, an air source heat pump (ASHP) is an excellent low-carbon option for heating your home.
An air source heat pump offers a fully controllable heating system, ensuring your home stays warm and comfortable with hot water, regardless of the weather conditions.
Enjoy the advantages of a new hot water tank, radiator upgrades (if necessary), and smart heating controls, all from a system that requires minimal maintenance to provide heat throughout the year.
An ASHP extracts heat from the outside air even when air temperatures are significantly below sub-freezing (some heat pumps can work even when the temperature is as low as – 25°C) and the compressor in the ASHP injects energy and boosts refrigerants temperature. The energy from refrigerant is used to heat water. The hot water is then used to heat home and provide hot water. Heat pump needs electricity to run, but it produces three to four times more heat than the electricity it consumes, providing an efficient alternative to more traditional heating systems. An air source heat pump is usually placed outdoors on the gable end of a property or next to a garage.
Heat pumps are approximately 3 to 4 times more efficient than LPG, oil, electricity, and gas boilers, which can result in significant annual savings on your energy costs.
Air source heat pumps can function effectively in outdoor temperatures as low as -25°C. Discover more about electric heat pumps.
Some air source heat pumps can be controlled from anywhere using smartphone apps.
Our air source heat pumps have an ErP rating of A+++.
Yes, if you have an outdated, inefficient gas boiler, electric storage heaters, or oil or coal-fired systems, you can expect to see savings, as these options tend to be costly to operate.
However, some residents with very low energy bills or newer gas boilers might not notice any changes in their energy expenses. E.ON will evaluate your current heating bill during the survey. As part of the assessment to determine if you and your property are suitable for a heat pump, we will calculate potential changes to your bill and the savings you could anticipate. This evaluation will be completed before you decide on installing a heat pump.
Investing in a heat pump can lead to savings on your energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint. To help address any concerns you may have, we’ve outlined a few key points:
Disruption/Work to the Property: The installation will begin with replacing your boiler with a new heat pump and, if needed, installing a hot water cylinder. The installer will also upgrade any radiators as part of the design. A typical installation usually takes 2-3 days, and we will collaborate with you to ensure you are satisfied with the look and feel of the setup.
Cost: Although the initial investment for a heat pump may be higher than that of other heating systems, government grants are available to help cover the cost of purchasing an air source heat pump. Eligible homeowners can receive £7,500 off the installation price through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
Existing Home Efficiency: You may need to review your loft and wall insulation to ensure your home effectively retains the heat generated.
Space: A small amount of outdoor space is required for the installation of an air source heat pump system.
