Air Source Heat Pumps are a smart option for eco-friendly heating, offering up to four times greater efficiency compared to a traditional gas boiler.
Air Source Heat Pumps work in a completely different way from traditional heating systems. Instead of burning fossil fuels to generate heat, they draw in thermal energy from the external environment — even in cold conditions as low as minus 15 degrees Celsius. This energy is captured by a refrigerant, which is then pressurised to significantly increase its temperature. The resulting heat is transferred through a heat exchanger, supplying your home with reliable hot water and central heating.
This process may seem unexpected in winter, but air contains thermal energy even in freezing conditions. That makes these systems extremely effective for all-season heating. One of the biggest advantages of Air Source Heat Pumps in Ivybridge is their energy efficiency. For every unit of electricity they use, they can produce three to four units of heat, making them far more efficient than standard gas systems.
While they do require electricity to operate, their reduced energy consumption leads to lower running costs and a smaller carbon footprint. Overall, they provide a low-carbon alternative to traditional home heating.
When installed in a well-insulated home, an air source heat pump is significantly greener than a gas boiler.
Air Source Heat Pumps in Ivybridge can reduce your carbon footprint by over 40%. They require less servicing and are cheaper to run than traditional fossil fuel boilers.
With gas boilers being phased out in the coming years, an air source heat pump is an environmentally friendly way to upgrade your heating system.
When installing Air Source Heat Pumps in Ivybridge, costs can vary depending on the size of your property and other factors identified during a full suitability assessment. This ensures the system is customised to meet your heating requirements.
The UK Government currently offers grants through the BUS, providing up to £7,500 to help offset the cost of replacing gas heating systems.
Total Installation Cost: £7,500 – £18,000
Time Taken for Installation: two to five days
Lifespan of an Air Source Heat Pump: around 20 years
