Overview
An air source heat pump (sometimes referred to as an air-to-water heat pump) transfers heat from the outside air to water. This in turn heats rooms in your home via radiators or underfloor heating. It can also heat water stored in a hot water cylinder for your hot taps, showers, and baths.
How does an air source heat pump work?
Heat from the air is absorbed into a fluid. This fluid then passes through a heat exchanger into the heat pump, which raises the temperature and then transfers that heat to water.
Is an air source heat pump right for me?
Air source heat pumps are suitable for many types of homes. They’re the most common type of domestic heat pump in the UK, with tens of thousands of installations. However, there are a few things you should consider before deciding whether a heat pump is right for you.
What type of air source heat pump should I choose?
A split system separates the components between indoor and outdoor units.
Whether a monobloc or split system is right for you will depend on your budget and the space available.
Monobloc systems tend to be cheaper and quicker to install. They don’t take up as much space inside your home, but they’re generally slightly less efficient than split systems. Split systems can be more efficient because some of the heat transfer takes place inside the building where it’s warmer, resulting in less heat being lost.
If you’re not limited by space inside your home, it may be worth the extra cost of installing a split system. Your installer should be able to talk you through your options and help you choose the design that works best for you.
Another potential option is an air-to-air heat pump. These are more often used to heat smaller properties such as park homes or flats. Other solutions are only suitable if you’re in a flat with shared services where each flat is provided with heating communally.
Hot water cylinders
The size of hot water cylinder depends on the amount of hot water your household typically uses. They can usually fit inside any cupboard that measures at least 80x80cm.
Other options
If you don’t have space for a hot water cylinder, you still have options. Some hybrid systems are designed with the heat pump providing heating and a boiler providing hot water on demand.
You could also consider installing a heat battery, which takes up less space than a hot water cylinder.
Instantaneous hot water heaters are also available and can be installed under your kitchen sink to provide a smaller amount of hot water.
What other things do I need to consider when choosing an air source heat pump?
As with any heating system, installing an air source heat pump requires consideration. You should think about:
Installation costs: the typical cost of installing an air source heat pump is around £14,000, but funding support may be available depending on where you live.
Space requirements: Not everyone will have space for a standard air source heat pump and hot water cylinder, but there are other options for smaller homes or homes without outdoor space. Explore different options for heating your home.
How much does an air source heat pump cost to install?
The cost of an air source heat pump installation varies depending on:
– the size of heat pump.
– the size of the property.
– whether it’s a newbuild or an existing property.
– whether you need to change the way you distribute heat around your property.
The typical cost of installing an air source heat pump is around £14,000.
What funding is available for air source heat pumps?
If you live in England and Wales, you can get £7,500 towards an air source heat pump with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.
If you live in Scotland, you might be able to get an interest-free loan or a grant to make your home more energy efficient.
If you live in Northern Ireland, there isn’t a specific grant currently available but you can still ‘get heat pump ready’ and apply for funding for insulation via NI Energy Advice.

Our Process
Our PV Industry Experience Enables Us To Provide In-depth Material Sourcing, Financing And Supply Chain Expertise For Every Step! One assessment claimed that, as of 2009, wind had the “lowest relative greenhouse gas emissions, the least water consumption demands.
How It Works?!
It has been argued that expanding use of wind power will lead to increasing geopolitical competition over critical materials for wind turbines such as rare earth elements neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium. But this perspective has been criticised for failing to recognise that most wind turbines.
Despite these diverse developments, developments in fossil fuel systems almost entirely eliminated any wind turbine systems larger than supermicro size. In the early 1970s, however, anti-nuclear protests in Denmark spurred artisan mechanics to develop microturbines of 22 kW.
