Air Source Heat Pump advantages
Energy efficiency
ASHPs are amongst the most energy-efficient solutions for heating buildings. They extract heat from the outside air, providing up to 4 times more energy than the electricity they consume.
Reduce carbon emissions
ASHPs use the energy stored in the air to heat buildings, producing far fewer greenhouse gas emissions than traditional heating systems.
Future proof your home
With low maintenance, low operating costs, and an average lifespan of 15-20 years, ASHPs provide reliable heating and cooling for years to come.
Government incentives
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme offers £7,500 towards installations in the UK.
What kit do you need for an Air Source Heat Pump?
Air Source Heat Pumps collects thermal energy from the air outside. The heat pump is located externally, either next to an outside wall, or connected to the property with pre-insulated pipes buried in a trench. Internally, the system usually consists of a hot water cylinder, a buffer tank, and two expansion vessels.
Are Air Source Heat Pumps noisy?
All heat pumps emit noise. The heat pumps we specify have decibel ratings (sound power EN 12102) in the range of 48-62 dB. Most people don’t consider them noisy, but sensitivity to noise is individual.
If you are worried about noise, we can arrange for you to visit one of our installations and listen to one.

Margaret installed an Air Source Heat Pump with Better Planet
Better Planet installed our Air Source Heat Pump in June 2023 and it has been one of the best home improvement decisions we have made. Better Planet were excellent during the installation and have also been fantastic with after service. I would highly recommend using them.
Better Planet helped us choose and then install an air source heat pump. They were excellent at all stages, very knowledgeable and professional about designing the heating solution for our large property and then excellent at installing it. They also sorted out the planning application for us and organised the Government rebate themselves
