Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps are a cutting-edge, low-carbon heating solution in the UK. These innovative systems efficiently extract heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, to keep your home warm and cosy, just like traditional boilers.
Get An Instant QuoteThe Government has published new legislation to relax the rules around permitted development for air source heat pumps. The changes will come into effect from Thursday 29 May and should make it easier and cheaper for consumers to install a heat pump without the need for a full planning application.
These changes include:
Removing the rule that no air source heat pump can be fitted within one metre of the boundary of a property under permitted development.
Increasing the maximum size of air source heat pump allowable under permitted development from 0.6m³ to 1.5m³.
Doubling the number of air source heat pumps permitted, from one to two for detached dwelling houses, to allow cascade systems to benefit from the same rules as individual units.
Allowing air-to-air heat pumps that can also provide a cooling function to benefit from the same permitted development rights as air to water heat pumps.

Compared to gas boilers, which have served us well, the next generation of heating is here. Air source heat pumps are incredibly efficient, providing 5 times more efficiency and reducing carbon emissions by a remarkable 73% when compared to gas or oil systems.
Not only do heat pumps use significantly less energy—4 to 5 times less than the most efficient boilers—they also contribute to a greener future. Operating on electricity, which becomes more sustainable each year, and pairing them with solar PV installations can result in substantial cost savings.
In terms of maintenance, heat pumps are built to last, with a lifespan of up to 25 years—more than double that of a typical boiler. Say goodbye to frequent maintenance and hello to a more sustainable and efficient heating solution!

FAQs
Speak To An ExpertAre heat pumps energy efficient?
A heat pump generates about 3.5kWh of heat for every 1kWh of electricity used. That’s 350% efficiency.
Why get a heat pump?
Greener, cleaner heat – Air source heat pumps use a smaller amount of electricity, so they’re a low-carbon form of heating.
Are heat pumps built to last?
Air source heat pumps should last for at least 20 years – longer than the average lifespan of a standard gas boiler.

How effective are heat pumps?
Heat pumps work effectively even when the outside temperatures are -25°C, although they are a bit more energy efficient at warmer temperatures.
What types of heat pump are there?
Air source heat pumps and ground source heat pumps. As the names suggest, ground source heat pumps get heat from the ground, whilst air source heat pumps get it from the outside air.
How do heat pumps work?
A heat pump works differently to a gas, oil or LPG boiler does. It uses the heat found in the air outside air of your home – plus a small amount of electricity – This is then converted to supply your home with all the heating and hot water it needs, all year round! When it’s installed in an energy-efficient and well insulated house, an air source heat pump is up to 500% efficient compared to a normal gas boiler which is roughly 60-90% efficient. Air source heat pumps are an environmentally friendly approach to a gas-powered boiler. That’s excellent news for your carbon footprint on the environment – and for the UK’s continued progress to Net Zero.
What government grants are available to help with the installation costs?
Replacing gas boilers with greener, cleaner alternatives is the drive forward of the UK’s plans to reach Net Zero by 2050. So, the government is offering to help people who want to make the switch to greener heating today!
