How do air source heat pumps work?

Air source heat pumps do not actually create heat, they simply move air from one place to another through the refrigeration process (or vapour compression cycle) to make it it more useable. Heat from the air is absorbed into a fluid form, which when compressed increases it’s temperature giving you usable heat for your home. This higher temperature is then transferred into the heating system for you to use for your home or water heating.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS)

Saving on your energy bills just got even easier with the The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). This is a Government scheme here in the UK, created to help boost the uptake of renewable heat technologies amongst UK householders by means of a financial incentives of £7500 towards the cost of an air source heat pump. It is a UK government initiative designed to encourage the installation of low-carbon heating systems like heat pumps in homes and small non-domestic buildings in England and Wales. It provides upfront grants to offset the cost of these installations. The scheme is installer-led, meaning that Senergy Direct, as an MSC approved installer, applies for the vouchers on behalf of property owners.The scheme is currently scheduled to run until December 31, 2027.

Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) FAQs

An air source heat pump (ASHP) extracts heat from the outside air and uses it to warm your home and hot water. It works like a fridge in reverse, providing efficient heating even in colder weather. At Senergy Direct, we install systems designed for the UK climate, helping you cut bills and reduce carbon emissions.

The cost of an ASHP depends on the size of your property, the system design, and your heating needs. Because every home is different, we provide tailored quotes rather than fixed prices. With grants available, installing an ASHP is often more affordable than you might think.

Yes – air source heat pumps are a smart investment for many UK homes. They can lower your heating bills, reduce reliance on gas or oil, and make you eligible for government incentives. Over time, they provide both financial and environmental benefits.

Yes – modern ASHPs are designed to work efficiently even in cold weather. They can extract heat from the air at temperatures as low as -15°C, making them suitable for the UK climate year-round.

A well-maintained ASHP typically lasts around 15–20 years. Regular servicing helps ensure reliable performance and extends the system’s lifespan. At Senergy Direct, we install trusted brands that come with strong warranties for peace of mind.

In most cases, you don’t need planning permission, as ASHPs are considered “permitted development.” Exceptions may apply for listed buildings or properties in conservation areas. We’ll always advise if additional approval is required.

Modern ASHPs are designed to be quiet, producing a low hum similar to a fridge or air conditioning unit. They’re usually installed outside, away from living areas, so noise is rarely an issue.

Yes – ASHPs use renewable energy from the air, making them far more sustainable than gas or oil boilers. They can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and are key to the UK’s push toward greener energy.
