Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps offer a fantastic way to heat your home and provide hot water efficiently while being environmentally friendly.
These systems are gaining popularity across the UK as a cost-effective alternative to traditional heating methods. According to the Energy Saving Trust, switching to an air source heat pump can reduce your emissions by 44% annually.
Not only do these pumps efficiently warm your home, but they also generate hot water, outperforming traditional oil or gas boilers in both efficiency and environmental impact.
At Elect Energy, we are qualified air source heat pump installers ready to help you upgrade your heating system and start saving money. If you’re considering reducing your energy bills and even covering costs with air source heat pump grants, get in touch with us today to make the switch.

Air Source Heat Pumps FAQ’s
-
Air source heat pumps efficiently heat your home by extracting warmth from the outside air. Housed in a small, stand-alone box outside your home, the pump features a fan, a pump, and a network of tubes.
Operating similarly to a refrigerator in reverse, the pump warms liquid refrigerant within the tubes using outside air. This liquid, which heats at very low temperatures, turns into a gas once it reaches the right temperature. The gas is then compressed, increasing its temperature, which can then be used to heat air or water distributed throughout your home.
These systems are effective even in winter, ensuring your home stays warm. Curious to learn more? Contact our experts to see how an air source heat pump can revolutionize your home’s heating and increase your comfort.

An air source heat pump is a smart choice if you’re looking to save on heating bills and reduce your environmental impact. These systems are not only cost-effective but also kinder to the planet.
Air source heat pumps have a longer lifespan compared to traditional boilers, often lasting up to 20 years with minimal maintenance. They require just basic upkeep like keeping the unit clean and free from plant obstructions, with a professional check-up only needed every few years.
Benefits include:
• Reduced energy bills
• Long lifespan and low maintenance
• No need for annual service costs or fuel storage
• Eco-friendly operation
• Ability to cool your home during warmer months

Before setting up an air source heat pump, we’ll assess your home’s insulation because these systems perform best in well-insulated properties. We’ll also evaluate the space around your home to ensure there’s sufficient airflow to operate the pump effectively. For larger properties, multiple units might be necessary to achieve optimal heating.
Why not enhance your system’s efficiency by pairing it with solar panels (Solar PV)? This can power your heat pump and cut down on energy costs even further. Additionally, improving your home’s insulation can help retain more heat, boosting overall efficiency.
With available grants for both air source heat pumps and home insulation, you can upgrade your home’s energy efficiency and save on your bills. Contact us today to explore the best heating solutions for your property.

The government is offering significant grants to encourage homeowners to adopt low-emission heating options like air source heat pumps. Through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, you can receive up to £5,000 towards purchasing and installing an air source heat pump. This scheme is part of an effort to replace inefficient boilers with renewable alternatives and runs until 2025.
To qualify for these grants, your property must have a suitable Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). Investing in these eco-friendly solutions not only reduces emissions but also enhances your home’s efficiency.
Interested in learning more or checking your eligibility for a grant? Get in touch with us today, and we can help you make an informed decision about upgrading your home heating system.

• Renewable Energy Source
A great choice for reducing your carbon footprint by using renewable energy.
• Low Running Costs
A well-designed heat pump system keeps your ongoing energy costs low.
• Eligible for Grants
You could get up to £6,000 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to help with the cost of your heat pump.
• Up to 400% Efficient
Heat pumps generate more energy than they use, making them one of the most efficient heating options available.

An air source heat pump works like a fridge in reverse to heat your home. Here’s the simple process:
1. Air Intake: Outside air is blown over tubes filled with refrigerant, warming it up and turning it into gas.
2. Compression: The gas passes through a compressor, increasing pressure and adding more heat (like how a tyre pump warms up when in use).
3. Heat Exchange: The hot gas transfers its heat to cool air or water, which then circulates through your home for heating and hot water.
4. Cycle Repeats: The refrigerant cools back into liquid, ready to start the process again.
It’s an efficient way to keep your home warm, even in colder weather!
