The details
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) are forming a key part of the residential energy transition and offer a highly-efficient alternative to conventional domestic heating.
They work by taking heat from the air to provide heating and hot water for residential and commercial buildings. The units are usually situated outside the building. Ambient air is pulled across a finned heat exchanger and the refrigerant inside is then superheated via an electrically driven compressor. This heat is then transferred to water through a plate heat exchanger, and then pumped throughout the building to radiators, under floor heating or hot water tanks - just like a boiler.
BOILER UPGRADE SCHEME (ENGLAND AND WALES)
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is open to people in England and Wales and can provide a grant to cover part of the cost of replacing a fossil fuel heating system with a heat pump, when installed by an MCS certified installer.
How to apply:
- Contact suitable MCS certified installers to get quotes for the work.
- Confirm you’re eligible (your installer can help advise).
- Agree a quote with your chosen installer.
Details correct at the time of writing (November 2023). We advise you check https://www.gov.uk/apply-boiler-upgrade-scheme/check-if-youre-eligible to check for any published changes to the scheme.

Tech stuff
The heating requirements for your home should be calculated, both in terms of room heating/cooling and the demand for hot water. When calculating this, there are many factors to consider including:
- Local climate conditions
- Energy performance of the property
- Construction features such as number of windows
From the above, a professional will be able to calculate the heating capacity required per square meter, and in turn the total heating capacity required from the heat pump.
Once it is understood what capacity is required, the features of individual models should be compared to choose the one which best meets the requirements. This heat pump is suitable for operating at ambient temperatures between -25°C and 43°C, although performance will be affected depending on the ambient temperature.
This heat pump also utilises inverter technology, allowing the heat output to be adjusted dependant on demand, to help ensure that the correct balance of performance and efficiency is achieved.
For larger properties such as offices, hotels and commercial spaces, it may be beneficial to zone the areas, with a separate heat pump covering different areas of the property.
