Why Air Source Heat Pumps Are the Future of Heating
Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly ways to heat your home or business. They work by extracting heat from the air outside — even in cold weather — and using it to warm your home and your hot water. It’s the same technology used in your fridge, but in reverse.
Because they don’t burn fuel, they produce far fewer carbon emissions than gas or oil boilers, and can significantly reduce your energy bills, especially if you’re switching from LPG, oil, or electric.
Why They’re So Popular
Heat Pumps & the Future
The UK government has set a target to phase out new gas boiler installations in homes from 2035 — and heat pumps are a key part of the solution.
In fact, all new-build homes are expected to use low-carbon heating systems like air source heat pumps from 2025 under the Future Homes Standard. That means heat pumps aren’t just a good idea — they’re fast becoming the standard.
In Summary:
Air source heat pumps are efficient, eco-friendly, future-proof and backed by major government support. They’re one of the best upgrades you can make to your home or property.
Air source heat pumps use energy from the air to heat your home and hot water — even in cold weather. They’re clean, efficient, and can significantly cut your heating bills, especially if you currently use oil, LPG or electric.
They’re also future-proof: by 2025, most new homes will use low-carbon systems like heat pumps, not gas boilers.

An air source heat pump (ASHP) is an energy-efficient system that extracts heat from the outside air to warm your home and provide hot water. Even in cold weather, it can absorb ambient heat and transfer it indoors.
ASHPs are a sustainable alternative to traditional heating methods, helping reduce your carbon footprint and lower energy bills. They’re compatible with underfloor heating, radiators, and hot water systems, making them a versatile choice for new builds or retrofits.
As MCS-accredited installers, choosing us for your heat pump installation means you’re eligible to apply for the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant – offering up to £7,500 towards the cost of an air source heat pump.
