What Is A Heat Pump?
A heat pump is a device that uses electric to transfer heat from a cool space to a warm space by transferring thermal energy using a refrigeration cycle.
They work by cooling the cool space and warming the warm space.
Air source heat pumps are an new type of renewable energy heating.
They work like a fridge in reverse by taking warmth from the air outside and using it to supply your home’s heating and hot water.
They will even work when temperatures get as low as -15C.
Heat pumps run on electricity so they will help the UK move away from fossil fuel heating.
Why A Free Air Source Heat Pump Scheme?
Many people in this day and age will not be able to afford the £12 K needed to replace their old boiler for a heat pump.
The government have stepped in and are offering help to all people that receive a qualifying benefit or are on a low income.
If you are unsure whether you qualify, please make an application as you may be eligible!
How Does An Air Source Heat Pump Work ?
They work a bit like refrigerators in reverse.
An air source heat pump takes heat from the air and boosts it to a higher temperature using a compressor.
It then transfers the heat to the heating system in your home.
Air source heat pumps use the same kind of technology that fridges and freezers use.
The pump pulls in air from outside, then uses it to heat a special refrigerant liquid. As it warms up, the liquid turns into gas.
The warmth is compressed to increase its temperature – and provide lots of lovely heat for your home.
Once the gas has transferred its heat, it cools down, becomes liquid again. And returns to the start of the cycle.
The process only uses electricity and has an energy efficiency of over 350% – compared to an A-rated gas boiler, which is about 90% efficient.
Grants For Air Source Heat Pumps – 6 Reasons To Apply
Here are 6 reasons why you should consider swapping your oil or gas boiler, or electric heating, for a heat pump:
- Grants Are Available
You could be entitled to a 100% grant or £7500 towards it.
- Reduce your energy bills
Moving to a heat pump means you can avoid the high prices associated with gas and oil.
Oil, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) or electric heating are very expensive ways of heating and you will see a reduction to your energy bill if you move to a heat pump.
- No VAT to pay on installation
The government has recently announced 0% VAT on the installation of heat pumps and biomass boilers, which will last for 5 years, further reducing the cost of installation.
- Reduce your carbon footprint and combat climate change
Heat pumps are significantly more efficient than traditional boilers and use cleaner electricity, so will reduce your home’s carbon footprint. A heat pump takes heat at a low temperature from the air or ground, increases that heat to a higher temperature and transfers it into your home to provide heating and hot water.
- Save time and storage space by stopping fuel deliveries
If you’re using oil or LPG, you’ll no longer need to deal with fuel deliveries and can save space with not needing the storage for this anymore.
- Get ahead of the curve
Heat pumps are an important part of the future of heating, and installing one now will give you access to the latest technology and allow you to future proof your home.

No rental agreements, no contracts, nothing. You will still own your home and will not have any problems selling your property.
Solar Panels can actually increase the value of your home.
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels turn the sun’s energy into usable electricity. Solar panels contain electrons, which start moving when hit with direct sunlight. The moving electrons create an electric current, kind of like a stream of electricity, which is then channelled and turned into usable electricity.
The electricity is then sent out of the solar panel through wires, ready to power your gadgets, lights or even your electric vehicle, or it can be sent back to grid and suppliers will pay you for that energy.
How many solar panels does it take to run a house?
A typical home in the Uk needs between 6 and 10 solar panels to power it fully.
The exact number you need will depend on the size of your home and your electricity usage.
