Air Source Heat Pumps: Everything You Need to Know

When it comes to keeping your home warm and energy-efficient, air source heat pumps are a game-changer. These modern, low-carbon heating systems can replace or complement traditional boilers and help you save money on energy bills.

At Warmify, we help eligible households get air source heat pumps installed for free through government-backed schemes like ECO4, Connected for Warmth, and the Warm Home Local Grant.

What is an Air Source Heat Pump?

An air source heat pump works by absorbing heat from the outside air—even when it’s cold—and transferring it into your home to provide heating and hot water. It works like a refrigerator in reverse, using renewable energy to reduce your reliance on gas or oil.

The result? A warmer home, lower bills, and a smaller carbon footprint.
