What is involved in fitting an air source heat pump?

Your installer will place the heat pump unit outside your home (usually on a wall or the ground). They’ll connect it to your heating system, install any required pipework, fit insulation, and test the whole system. You may need larger radiators to make the most of it.

How much does it cost to install an air source heat pump?

Costs vary based on your home size, insulation, and the type of system. Costs start at around £3,000 for supply of an air-to-water heat pump, but costs can rise up to several thousands. [Read more here](https://www.checkatrade.com/blog/cost-guides/air-source-heat-pump-cost/).

Do air source heat pumps work in cold weather?

Yes, they do, even in temperatures as low as -15°C. They draw heat from the outside air and can still run efficiently in winter. However, efficiency may dip slightly in colder snaps, so good insulation is key.

How long do air source heat pumps last?

Most air source heat pumps last around 15 - 20 years, especially with regular servicing. Just like a boiler, a little maintenance goes a long way in keeping things running smoothly.

Do I need planning permission for an air source heat pump?

In most cases, no. Air source heat pumps are classed as “permitted development.” But if you live in a listed building or conservation area, it’s a good idea to check with your local authority first.

How often should an air source heat pump be serviced?

Once a year is recommended. Regular servicing keeps your system efficient, reduces the risk of breakdowns, and helps you stay within warranty terms.

Can I install an air source heat pump myself?

These systems need to be installed by a qualified heating or renewable energy engineer, ideally someone MCS certified. DIY mistakes could be costly and might void warranties or grant eligibility.
