Heat Pump Benefits vs Traditional Gas Boiler
An Air Source Heat Pump extracts heat from the air and elevates it to a higher temperature using advanced heat pump technology. The system compresses the refrigerant to raise its temperature by utilising electricity and refrigerant. The refrigerant then condenses back into a liquid, releasing the stored heat, which is distributed to your radiators or underfloor heating system.

Heat Pump Questions
The short answer is YES!
Heat pump systems have been installed and have operated successfully for many years in some of the coldest parts of the world.
Heat Pump technology was primarily developed in Scandinavia, where the winter months are harsh. Therefore, heat pump systems can most definitely work well during British winters. The key factor to their success is the design and specification process, which ensures the system can produce enough energy for the property’s requirements.
Heat Pump systems work very similarly to refrigerators, except in reverse. Air Source Heat Pumps can extract heat from the air even when temperatures are as low as -15 degrees centigrade.
No, while some units are louder than others, they usually operate between 40 and 60 decibels, which is roughly as loud as a dishwasher or a quiet library.
ASHP noise is only generated when it is in operation, and double glazing will largely minimise any noise generated.
Customers ask us whether a traditional boiler is any better than an air source heat pump?
They both provide a source of heat for your home or business however, here are the advantages of having a heat pump installed over a conventional boiler:
- Long life span and heating system warranty
- Strong heat output
- Higher energy efficiency
- Lower carbon emissions
- Renewable heat incentive scheme available
- Fast installation process
- No concern over fluctuating wholesale gas prices
* Air-source heat Pumps (ASHPs) are typically 200-400% efficient, meaning they can produce 2-4kWh of heat for every 1kWh of electricity.
**An air source heat pump could reduce your household carbon emissions by over 23 tonnes of CO2 over 10 years. That’s the same as 30 return flights from Heathrow to Madrid!
