You trust your fridge right? An air source heat pump is very similar. It splits the ambient temperature air into cold air and hot air, expelling the cold air and using the hot air to warm the liquid circulating your radiators/underfloor heating, just like a conventional gas or oil system would.
Technically speaking, the outside air is blown over a network of tubes filled with a refrigerant. This warms up the refrigerant and it turns from a liquid into a gas. The refrigerant transfers its heat to water, making it warm. This warm water is sent around your radiators or underfloor heating.
Comparable with a boiler replacement thanks to the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. Every installation we do is bespoke and tailored to your home, making there no one price. That said, installations start from £1,500. For a typical UK 3 bedroom house built in the last 60 years, the cost of the heat pump ranges from £1,500 to £3,000. Installation costs can vary depending on accessibility, the size of the house, the existing plumbing and your location. It’s best to get in touch with our heat pump architects to discuss pricing in more detail.
Air source heat pumps are very economical to run, thanks to their high efficiency and ability to deliver consistent heating using less energy. Many homeowners experience noticeably lower energy bills compared to traditional heating systems, particularly when combined with smart controls or renewable energy solutions such as solar panels or battery storage.
Air source heat pumps normally have a life span of 20 years or more if they’re well looked after and serviced regularly, making the heat pump an excellent choice for a long term heating option for the home. As they’re designed to process air rather than a physical substance such as fuel or water, a heat pump can be more reliable than boilers and oil heaters.
Once installed, an air source heat pump is very easy to maintain, however, it will need attention on a regular basis, just like your boiler did. Annual services are a requirement of most manufacturers to maintain their warranty. Checks between 2 to 4 months are recommended in order to prolong the life of the heat pump, services are recommended annually to get ahead of any issue and maintain the heating efficiency of the unit.

Air source heat pumps are flexible and can be installed in a variety of homes, whether it’s a flat, an older house or a terraced home.
The external unit needs to always be placed outside as it draws in air to convert it into energy, the indoor components, such as the cylinder and controls, can be placed in spaces like garages, airing cupboards or even spare rooms and basements. Checking local rules and consulting a professional installer can make the process smoother.
In most cases, you don’t need planning permission to install an air source heat pump, especially if it’s a typical source model. Nonetheless, if you live in a conservation area or a listed building, you’ll likely need planning permission.
It’s best to reach out to your local planning authority for more guidance. Cahill renewables will also be here to help with any queries you have in regards to planning permission.
