What best describes your housing ownership status?
Are you eligible?
To qualify for a new boiler you must be a homeowner with a qualifying benefit from those listed below. For all other measures privately rented properties with a qualifying benefit meet the qualification criteria.
Please Note
As a private tenant with this type of heating source there are some restrictions (e.g. the scheme does not allow for a replacement boiler) however there are measures we can install to help improve your home”s energy efficiency (e.g. insulation).
Congratulations
As a social housing tenant you are entitled to a grant, please confirm you can provide contact details for your social housing provider, as they will be required to agree to any works.
Unfortunately you are not eligible for a free heating grant.Thank you for enquiring.
Air Source Heat Pumps: Efficient, Sustainable Heating and Cooling Solution
An air source heat pump (ASHP) is a sustainable heating and cooling system that extracts heat from the ambient air and transfers it indoors for space heating or domestic hot water purposes. Operating on electricity, ASHPs are highly efficient, offering a renewable alternative to traditional heating systems. They work by absorbing heat from the outdoor air through a refrigeration cycle, then amplifying it to a higher temperature for distribution within the building. ASHPs are versatile, suitable for various climates, and can provide both heating and cooling functions, making them a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for residential and commercial buildings.

Is Air Source Heat Pump Suitable
for my Home?
Determining if an air source heat pump (ASHP) is suitable for your home depends on various factors. Considerations include the climate in your area, the size and layout of your property, and your heating and cooling needs. ASHPs are generally well-suited for moderate climates and homes with good insulation. They work efficiently in areas with consistent outdoor temperatures and can provide both heating and cooling functions. Additionally, ASHPs are ideal for homes with sufficient outdoor space for installation and where electricity is readily available. Consulting with a qualified HVAC professional can help assess your specific circumstances and determine if an ASHP is a viable and beneficial option for your home.

How is Air Source Heat Pump Installed?
- Site Assessment: A qualified installer assesses your property to determine the most suitable location for the air source heat pump (ASHP) unit, considering factors such as available space, access to electricity, and proximity to outdoor air sources.
- Unit Placement: The ASHP outdoor unit is typically installed on a stable surface, such as a concrete pad or mounting brackets, ensuring proper airflow and minimal vibration. Indoor units are placed in utility rooms, basements, or other designated areas.
- Refrigerant Lines Installation: Copper refrigerant lines are installed to connect the outdoor and indoor units, allowing the transfer of heat between the evaporator and condenser coils.
- Electrical Connection: Electrical wiring is installed to connect the ASHP unit to the main power supply, ensuring proper operation and safety compliance.
- System Testing and Commissioning: Once installed, the ASHP system is thoroughly tested to ensure proper functionality and efficiency. Adjustments may be made to optimize performance and airflow distribution.

Benefits of Air Source Heat Pump
- Energy Efficiency: Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) can provide up to three times more heat energy to a home than the electrical energy they consume, making them highly efficient.
- Lower Carbon Emissions: By using renewable heat from the air, ASHPs significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to traditional heating systems like gas or oil boilers.
- Cost Savings: Over time, ASHPs can reduce heating bills due to their high efficiency, especially when replacing less efficient systems.
- Versatility: ASHPs can be used for both heating and cooling, providing year-round climate control in one system.
- Low Maintenance: With fewer moving parts compared to conventional heating systems, ASHPs require less maintenance and have a longer lifespan.
