Direct answer
What this service involves
An air source heat pump transfers useful heat from outside air into a wet central-heating and hot-water system. The right result depends on measured heat loss, emitter output, controls, hot-water demand and careful commissioning—not simply choosing an outdoor unit.
When it may suit your home
Air source is often the practical choice where there is a suitable outdoor position, space for the associated hot-water equipment and a viable route to deliver the home’s design heat load. Older homes are not automatically ruled out, but insulation, radiators and pipework must be assessed honestly.

Air source heat pumps: frequently asked questions
Answers are shown in full so they remain useful and accessible. Property-specific decisions still require survey evidence.
Will an air source heat pump work in winter?+
Modern systems are designed to operate in cold weather. Performance still depends on correct sizing, flow temperatures and system design.
Do all radiators need replacing?+
Not necessarily. Each room’s heat loss and each emitter’s output at the proposed flow temperature determine what can stay.
Can you help with the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?+
Yes. We help homeowners understand eligibility and the installer-led voucher route. Grant approval always depends on the scheme rules and the property.
What information helps before a air source heat pumps visit?+
Share the property type, current heating fuel, recent energy use where available, comfort problems, planned building work and photographs of the existing equipment. This helps us identify the right survey or diagnostic visit.
How is air source heat pumps priced?+
A reliable price follows a defined scope. Equipment, access, diagnostic or heat-loss work, emitter and cylinder changes, electrical work, controls, commissioning and aftercare can all affect the quotation.

Service-specific evidence
What we verify for air source heat pumps
Outdoor position, free airflow, condensate drainage and the relationship to neighbouring windows are assessed alongside the indoor hydraulic design. We compare the unit output at the Kent design temperature with the calculated heat load, then check whether radiators or floor circuits can meet each room demand at the intended water temperature.
The proposal should identify outdoor clearances, acoustic assumptions, pipe route, cylinder volume, electrical work, emitter changes and the control strategy. That lets the homeowner distinguish the heat-pump price from enabling work and understand what will be commissioned.
Decision record
What should be clear before work begins
The quotation should connect the recommended work to property evidence, state provisional items and distinguish installer responsibilities from third-party or homeowner work. Costs and performance expectations remain conditional on the written assumptions.
