What Is an Air Source Heat Pump?

An air source heat pump installation is an energy-efficient heating system that captures heat from the outside air and transfers it into your home. Despite the name, it doesn’t need hot weather to work - air source heat pumps can generate warmth even when it’s cold outside, making them well-suited to the unpredictable British climate.

Using air-to-water technology, the system absorbs heat from the air and converts it into energy that powers your central heating and hot water. It’s a clean, low-carbon alternative to traditional gas or oil boilers and works brilliantly with both existing radiators and new underfloor heating systems.

Why Choose an Air Source Heat Pump Installation?

Why choose an air source heat pump installation? The answer is simple: it’s a smart, long-term investment in your home or business that delivers consistent warmth, lower bills, and peace of mind.

As a renewable heating solution, air source heat pumps work by extracting heat from the air outside - even in winter - and using it to heat your property efficiently.

With energy prices continuing to rise, many homeowners and businesses are rethinking how they heat their spaces. Air source heat pumps offer a future-proof alternative with a host of benefits:

Renewable and Sustainable

Reduces your carbon footprint by using naturally occurring energy.

Low Running Costs

Uses less electricity than traditional systems, helping to reduce energy bills over time.

Exceptionally Efficient

Operates at up to 400% efficiency, meaning you get four times the heat for every unit of electricity used.

Access to Government Grants

You may be eligible for substantial financial support, including the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, making installation more affordable.

Whether you're upgrading an older system or planning a new build, an air source heat pump offers lasting value. At SESC Solutions, we combine expert knowledge with high-quality installation services to help you make the most of this low-carbon solution.

Air to Air Heat Pump Installation: Process, Benefits, and Costs in the UK

Air to air heat pump installation is a cost-effective and energy-efficient way to heat and cool your property. The process involves fitting an outdoor unit that absorbs heat from the outside air and transfers it indoors through one or more wall-mounted or ducted units.

This provides reliable heating in winter and cooling in summer, making it a versatile solution for year-round comfort.

The benefits include:

  • Lower energy bills compared to traditional electric heating
  • Reduced carbon emissions
  • Straightforward installation with minimal disruption to your home or business.

Typical costs for air to air heat pump installation in the UK start from around £2,000–£4,000, depending on the size of the system and the number of indoor units required, making it an affordable option for many households and commercial properties.

Air Source Heat Pump Installation FAQs

Installation costs vary depending on your property size and system specification but typically range from £8,000 to £14,000. With available government grants, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, you could reduce this by up to £7,500, making it a highly cost-effective heating upgrade.

Yes, older homes can benefit from air source heat pumps, especially when combined with proper insulation. A professional assessment will determine suitability, and any improvements needed to maximise efficiency. With the right setup, even period properties can enjoy reliable, eco-friendly heating throughout the year.

Air source heat pumps can reach efficiencies of up to 400%, meaning they generate four units of heat for every unit of electricity used. In contrast, even the best gas boilers max out around 90%. This makes heat pumps significantly more efficient, especially when paired with well-insulated properties.

In most cases, planning permission isn’t required for domestic installations, as long as certain conditions are met. However, listed buildings or properties in conservation areas may have restrictions. We’ll guide you through the regulations and ensure your installation remains fully compliant.

Typical installations take between two and five days, depending on the complexity of the system and your property layout. Our team works efficiently to minimise disruption, and we handle everything from design to activation to ensure your system is up and running as quickly as possible.

Dorian and his team and office staff have been excellent. While others who quoted for the work fail to show up or didn’t understand the requirement, or simply incorrectly specified solutions, SESC came up with a bespoke design that exceeded my expectations at a fair price. Always a pleasure to deal with. They have a great range of skills. I would highly recommend them. Great heat pump install, cylinder, UFH install and refit of existing solar thermal, and all in a super tight space.

Thank you Dorian and the team for a great Vaillant heat pump and new central heating installation. The installation took about 2.5 weeks to have everything wrapped up, as there was a slight delay in the stock of the specific radiators we wanted, but the team worked very hard indeed to successfully take on some of the challenges of the install. They were extremely tidy (the house has never been so clean!) and conscientious with their work. Dorian is a real stickler for the small details, guiding us through the install and checking exactly how we wanted everything. Since then, the system has been running really well. Very efficient, pushing over 400% for heating and hot water since the installation in September 2025, and performing very well during cold snaps. House stays a nice consistent temperature without costing a lot on our electricity bill. Having previously had electric and night storage heaters, the new system is a massive improvement. Where there have been a couple of snags, Dorian has been more than happy to check, fix, and advise in a very prompt manner. Overall, definitely recommend when considering a heat pump installation.

I am happy to recommend SESC solutions to anyone considering a solar energy system. I have been very impressed by the fantastic customer service and advice that SESC provided throughout our large domestic solar panel and battery storage installation project. The team were available day and evening to answer my many questions, and updated the quotation several times to fit our specific requirements. The SESC quotation included everything right from the start, such as scaffolding and bird guards, that were usually left out of other companies quotes, and a pre-installation assessment checked everything was in order. The installation day was even sooner than expected and the roofer and electricians were very professional and helpful, with everything arriving on site smoothly and all rubbish taken away. Following the installation, we have quickly received all the documentation to help us switch supplier and take up the SEG for exporting our excess electricity. I have every confidence that the SESC team will continue to be there on the end of the phone if I need any further advice or support in the future.

I could not recommend Steve and his team at SESC Solutions more highly and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again for future projects. SESC Solutions have helped us for both London and country projects. The work has always been completed to a high standard and the work has always been well managed with clear communication throughout. We look forward to working with SESC again soon.
