Air & Ground Source Heat Pumps

Low-carbon heating that pays you back.

A modern replacement for fossil-fuel heating — energy-efficient heat pumps, specced and supplied for your home.

Overview

Heat pumps, made simple.

Traditional heating relies entirely on fossil fuels — pushing up your energy bills and adding to your carbon footprint. As a replacement, we spec and supply energy-efficient heat pumps that move heat rather than burn fuel.

Heat pumps are energy-efficient devices that move heat from the outside air, ground or water into a building instead of burning fuel to create warmth. The result is lower running costs and a much smaller carbon footprint.

We'll assess your home, recommend the right type and size, and handle the whole installation — including the paperwork for any grants you're eligible for.

What's included

What we handle

How they work

Heat from thin air — literally.

A heat pump moves heat from the outside air, ground or water into your home instead of burning fuel to create it.

Capture

A liquid refrigerant absorbs thermal energy from outside — even when the temperature drops below freezing.

Compress

An electric compressor squeezes the refrigerant gas to raise its temperature significantly.

Deliver

The hot gas transfers its warmth to your home's hot water cylinder, radiators or underfloor heating.

Repeat

The refrigerant expands, cools down and cycles back outside to collect more heat.

Main types

Air source or ground source

Air source heat pumps

Units sit outside your home and extract warmth from the surrounding air. The most common and cost-effective option for UK properties, with a straightforward install.

Ground source heat pumps

Pipes buried in a garden or deep boreholes draw steady warmth from the earth. They cost more to install but offer very high, year-round efficiency.

Efficiency (CoP)

Efficiency is measured by the Coefficient of Performance. A good system typically delivers 3 to 5 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity consumed — far beyond a traditional boiler.

Grants & incentives

Homeowners in the UK can explore grants like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to help offset installation costs. We'll help you check what you qualify for.
