Efficient Heating. Lower Bills. Future-Ready Comfort.

At Plumbwise, we see air source heat pumps as the smart evolution of home heating. They don’t burn fuel like traditional boilers, they extract renewable energy from the air outside and convert it into efficient, consistent warmth inside your home. The result is significantly lower running costs, reduced carbon emissions, and a system built for the future of energy.

But performance comes down to design. A heat pump only delivers real savings when it’s correctly specified, sized, and integrated with the right emitters and controls. That’s where our expertise sets us apart. We assess your property’s heat demand, insulation levels, and lifestyle needs to engineer a system that runs efficiently all year round. No oversizing, no underperformance, just reliable, cost-effective comfort.

With the right installation, an air source heat pump isn’t just a heating upgrade, it’s a long-term investment in energy independence and smarter living.

  • Lower energy bills through high-efficiency operation
  • Reduced carbon footprint and greener home heating
  • Consistent, even heat with improved comfort levels
  • Compatible with underfloor heating and modern radiators
  • Future-proof solution aligned with low-carbon energy standards

Frequently asked questions about air source heat pumps

What is an air source heat pump?2026-01-27T13:25:33+00:00

An air source heat pump (ASHP) is a low-carbon heating system that extracts heat from the outside air and uses it to heat your home and hot water.

Do air source heat pumps work in cold weather?2026-01-27T13:25:52+00:00

Yes. They work efficiently even in temperatures well below freezing. Modern systems are designed for the UK climate and can still extract heat from cold air.

Are air source heat pumps cheaper to run than gas boilers?2026-01-27T13:26:10+00:00

They can be cheaper to run, especially in well-insulated homes and when paired with solar panels or a heat pump tariff. Running costs depend on electricity prices and your home’s efficiency.

Will I need to change my radiators?2026-01-27T13:26:27+00:00

Possibly. Heat pumps work best with larger radiators or underfloor heating because they run at lower temperatures than gas boilers. A heat loss survey will show what upgrades are needed.

How much does an air source heat pump cost?2026-01-27T13:26:47+00:00

Installation typically costs between £8,000 and £14,000, depending on the size of your home and any upgrades required. In England and Wales, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme can provide a £7,500 grant.

How energy efficient are air source heat pumps?2026-01-27T13:27:07+00:00

They are very efficient. For every unit of electricity used, they can produce 3–4 units of heat, giving them an efficiency of 300–400%.

Are air source heat pumps noisy?2026-01-27T13:27:24+00:00

Noisy models were an issue in the past, but modern heat pumps are very quiet — similar to a fridge or a gentle hum. They must meet strict noise regulations.

How long does an air source heat pump last?2026-01-27T13:27:42+00:00

Most systems last around 15–20 years with proper maintenance, which is comparable to a good-quality boiler.

Can an air source heat pump provide hot water?2026-01-27T13:28:03+00:00

Yes. It can heat both your home and your domestic hot water using a hot water cylinder designed for heat pumps.

Is my home suitable for an air source heat pump?2026-01-27T14:08:21+00:00

Most homes are suitable, but they work best in well-insulated properties. A professional survey will assess insulation, radiator size, and outdoor space for the unit.
