Air Source Heat Pumps

Professional Air Source Heat Pump Design & Installation

At Enviro-Heat NW, we deliver expert air source heat pump (ASHP) installations across the North West, helping homeowners and businesses transition to efficient, low-carbon heating and hot water.

With over 18 years’ experience in renewable energy, we design and install tailor-made ASHP systems. Every system is designed in-house and installed by our qualified engineers to ensure optimal comfort, efficiency, and long-term performance.

How Air Source Heat Pumps Work

Air source heat pumps extract free heat from the outdoor air and transfer it into your home or business using electricity — even at lower temperatures. Unlike traditional systems that burn fuel to generate heat, ASHPs move heat, making them highly efficient. For each unit of electricity used, modern systems can deliver up to 3–4 units of heat — resulting in lower running costs and reduced emissions.

1. Heat Extraction

The outdoor unit absorbs heat from the air through a refrigerant, even in cold weather.

2. Heat Compression

The extracted heat is boosted in temperature by a compressor, making it suitable for your heating system.

3. Heat Delivery

Heat is circulated through your radiators, underfloor heating, and hot water cylinder, providing consistent warmth and hot water throughout the year.

Benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps

Air source heat pumps offer a range of advantages compared with traditional heating systems:

Lower Running Costs
Thanks to high efficiency, ASHPs can significantly reduce heating bills compared with oil, gas, or electric systems.

Reduced Carbon Emissions
They use renewable heat from the air and produce far fewer carbon emissions than fossil fuel boilers, helping support the UK’s net-zero targets.

Reliable Year-Round Performance
Modern ASHPs are designed for UK conditions and can provide reliable heat throughout the colder months.

Minimal Maintenance & Long Life
With fewer moving parts and no combustion process, ASHPs typically require low maintenance and have a long service life.

Flexible Installation
Air source heat pumps can work with existing radiators, hot water cylinders, or underfloor heating systems, making them suitable for many property types.

Government Support Available

Homeowners in England and Wales replacing a fossil fuel heating system may be eligible for a £7,500 grant through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). This grant is paid upfront and deducted directly from the installation cost — reducing the amount you need to invest from day one.

At Enviro-Heat NW, we are MCS-certified, which means:

  • Your installation qualifies for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
  • We handle the technical compliance and system design
  • We guide you through the process to ensure your project meets the funding criteria
  • When combined with the high efficiency of air source heat pumps, government funding can make switching to renewable heating one of the most cost-effective long-term upgrades for your home — lowering energy bills while future-proofing your property against rising fossil fuel costs.

Government support, lower running costs, and long system lifespans make air source heat pumps a smart financial decision as well as an environmental one.

Cross-Technology Integration

Air source heat pumps can be integrated with other renewable technologies for even greater efficiency and value:

  • Underfloor Heating — optimised for the lower temperatures produced by ASHPs
  • Solar PV & Battery Storage — power your heat pump with self-generated solar electricity to cut costs further
  • Boilers (Hybrid Systems) — where needed, a boiler can provide backup during very cold periods

Combining technologies creates a complete, efficient energy system for your home or business.

Professional Installation & Support

From initial consultation to final commissioning, our in-house team manages every stage:

  • Detailed property survey & bespoke system design
  • Professional installation by certified engineers
  • Thorough system testing and commissioning
  • Customer handover and ongoing performance support

We ensure your air source heat pump is properly sized, installed, and maintained for long-term comfort and savings.
