The cost of installing an air source heat pump can vary based on factors such as the size of your property, the type of system chosen, and any additional requirements for installation. It is advisable to obtain quotes from reputable installers to get an accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is a government initiative that provides financial incentives for upgrading to energy-efficient heating systems, including air source heat pumps. By participating in the scheme, homeowners can receive grants to offset the costs of installing eco-friendly heating solutions, such as air source heat pumps.

An Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) extracts heat from the outside air and uses it to warm your home. Even when the outside temperature is quite low, the pump can still collect heat from the air. This heat is then compressed and transferred inside to provide warmth. During warmer months, the system can also be reversed to cool your home. ASHPs are highly efficient and can significantly reduce your energy bills compared to traditional heating methods.

Installing an ASHP offers numerous benefits, including lower energy bills, reduced carbon emissions, and reliable year-round comfort. ASHPs convert a small amount of electricity into a larger amount of heat, making them highly efficient. Additionally, they often qualify for government incentives and grants, making them a financially viable choice for homeowners looking to save on long-term energy costs.

The cost of installing an ASHP can vary depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the installation. On average, you can expect to pay between £8,000 and £12,000.

For commercial buildings, ASHPs provide an efficient solution for both heating and cooling, with lower operating costs and a reduced environmental impact. They are particularly well-suited for large spaces and can be customised to meet the diverse heating and cooling needs of different areas within the building. ASHPs also offer flexibility for future expansion or adjustments to the system.

Regular maintenance is crucial for the effective operation of commercial ASHP systems. We recommend servicing the system at least once a year to ensure it runs efficiently. This includes checking for any issues, inspecting components, and cleaning filters. Proper maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends the lifespan of the system, and ensures optimal performance.

Yes, there are various financial incentives and grants available for installing ASHPs in commercial properties. These incentives can help reduce the initial investment cost. We can provide information on current schemes and assist with the application process to ensure you maximise the available financial support.
