Heating & Air Source Heat Pumps UK

With increasing emphasis on renewable, low-carbon heat sources and the government’s plan to phase out gas boilers by 2025, air-source heat pumps have become a popular eco-friendly alternative in the UK. Systems like the Mitsubishi Ecodan and Daikin Altherma provide sustainable solutions to replace traditional gas boilers.

Types of Air-Source Heat Pumps:

There are two main types: Air-to-Air and Air-to-Water.

Air-to-Air Heat Pumps:

Air-to-air heat pumps circulate warm air throughout your home, using an indoor unit like a high wall split system. These pumps only heat air and cannot heat water, making them unsuitable as a replacement for boilers or for powering radiators and underfloor heating systems (UFH).

Air-to-Water Heat Pumps:

Air-to-water heat pumps extract heat from the air and transfer it into water, which is then stored and used for heating throughout the property. This type of system is the most energy-efficient alternative to gas boilers and is widely adopted in the UK. Air-to-water heat pumps can provide hot water for radiators, UFH, and domestic uses such as bathing.
