Solartherm UK - Air Source Heat Pumps

Air source pumps serve as an alternative way to heat your home and could be the ideal solution if you want to generate your own heat and potentially save money on your energy bills. They absorb heat from the outside air and increase it to a higher temperature to warm your property. The pump runs on electricity, but it generates 2 to 4 times more heat than the electrical energy it uses. This means air source heat pumps are very energy efficient.

Heat pumps can save you more on your heating bills if you are replacing an electric, oil, LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) or coal system, rather than gas.


How much can an air source heat pump save you?
An air source heating system can reduce your energy bills considerably if you currently have an old or inefficient boiler.

It costs around £750 per year to run a pump for a 3-bedroom semi-detached house, and £975 per year for a 4-bedroom detached house.
