Benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) – With Real Cost & Energy Savings
Switching to an air source heat pump from an inefficient boiler can significantly reduce your heating bills, cut carbon emissions, and future-proof your home against rising fuel costs. Here’s how:
Key Benefits
- Lower Heating Bills
An older gas boiler typically has an efficiency of around 60–70%, meaning 30–40% of energy is wasted. In contrast, a modern air source heat pump has a Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) of around 3 to 4—meaning it produces 3–4 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity used.

What is Air Source Heat Pump?
An air source heat pump is a system that extracts heat from the outside air and transfers it inside. It provides both heating and cooling for your home, using renewable energy. This eco-friendly solution is energy-efficient and can lower your heating bills.
