What is an Air Source
Heat Pump?
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) work by absorbing the heat from the outside air to heat your home and your hot water. ASHPs can continue to extract heat even as air temperatures are as low as -15 degrees.
Air Source Heat Pumps use electricity to run however as they extract renewable heat from the environment, the output of heat is greater than the input of the electricity. This means they are an excellent and efficient method of heating your home.
How does an Air Source
Heat Pump work?
Air Source Heat Pumps work as air is pumped into fluid filled tubes, this fluid is usually a refrigerant. The fluid then warms up which enables the refrigerant to change from a fluid to a gas. The gas is then compressed which helps to increase the pressure and heat of the gas.
The hot gases are pumped into a heat exchange that is enclosed by cool water or air which is heated up by the hot gas. This can then be pumped around the home which is what delivers your heating and hot water.

Why should I install an Air Source Heat Pump?
Economical
Switching from your electric or coal-based systems will provide you with significant savings. Air Source Heat Pumps decrease your bills by using the outside air for your climate control needs.
Eco-friendly
Air Source Heat Pumps do not use fossil fuels to heat up your home. They help to reduce your carbon emissions and are environmentally friendly.
Effective
Air Source Heat Pumps are an extremely efficient method of heating your home as they use far less energy than they generate.
The Average Lifespan of an Air Source Heat Pump
When professionally installed is approximately 20 years which is far longer than your traditional boiler.
Despite ASHPs requiring a large upfront investment, they are in fact one of the most efficient ways to heat your home. An Air Source Heat Pump is a cheaper alternative to oil, LPG, and electric heaters. We can run a heat loss calculation to determine what your running costs will be.
ASHP’s are an energy efficient method of heating your home because even though they require 25% electricity to run, they use 75% renewable heat directly from the environment. Additionally, ASHPs are quieter than fossil fuel boilers and make very little noise depending on manufacturer and installation.
To install an ASHP in a home does not require planning permission unless your premises is a listed building or within a conservation area making the installation a remarkably simple process.

Costs and Savings
In the UK, the average cost of an air to water Air Source Heat Pump is approximately £9,000. The total cost of installing an air source heat pump can range from £8,000 to £18,000.
The individual cost required can depend on multiple factors such as:
- The size of your property
- The current insulation of your home
- The brand of the pump
- The size of the pump
- The performance/efficiency of the pump
As Air Source Heat Pumps use outside air to heat your home, they are far more cost-effective than running a traditional boiler. By using an ASHP, you could save £1,335

Renewable Heat Incentive scheme
Funding is paid over a period of 7 years and is based on the amount of renewable heat made by your heating system.
The Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme is a UK Government scheme that can offer you up to £14,000 to help encourage communities use renewable heat technology with financial motivation to contribute to the overarching goal of achieving net-zero targets. The funding is paid over a 7-year period and is based upon the amount of renewable heat produced by your heating system.

We eliminate the risk With a legitimate Insurance Backed Guarantee
An Insurance Backed Guarantee (IBG) is an insurance policy that protects your original guarantee provided by us as an installer. We offer an IBG to provide you with additional peace of mind that in the unlikely event we cease to trade, you will still be able to make a claim under the terms of our original guarantee, subject to terms and conditions.
The IBG’s are registered and paid for by Zerofy as the installer and provide you with cover for up to a 10-year period.
Zerofy will register you via the scheme for an IBG that protects your original guarantee. This ensures that any legal claim under that guarantee is assured to be met by the insurers.
