What is an Air Source Heat Pump?

Air source heat pumps are an efficient renewable energy solution to heating your property and hot water. They take heat from the air outside, pump it across refrigerant-filled coils, which generate super-heated gases for the purpose of heating water to high temperatures, either for hot water use or space heating, through a radiator or underfloor heating system. Air source heat pumps run very quietly and are usually placed at the ground level of an exterior wall.

Key benefits to you

  • Efficient renewable energy solution
  • Heat your home and hot water for less
  • Works at temperatures as low as -25°C
  • Works with underfloor heating or radiators
  • Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) - More info below

What is the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI)?

The Renewable Heat Incentive, or RHI, is a scheme set up by the UK government to encourage homeowners in England, Scotland and Wales to install renewable heating technology and reduce their carbon emissions.

It was launched in April 2014 and updated in July 2015 to fine-tune the eligibility criteria for heat pumps and biomass systems.

If you install an eligible system and then keep to the rules of the scheme, the government will pay you renewable energy incentives as a cash sum each quarter. The amount will be based on the amount of clean, green renewable heat produced by your system.

What are the tariffs?

The latest renewable energy incentives for each kind of heating is available on the Energy Saving Trust's website. The domestic rates differ between air and ground source pumps when you apply for RHI. Applications from April 2018 for air source heat pumps will receive 10.49p per kilowatt hour generated, while ground source heat pumps will earn 20.46p per kilowatt hour generated. These payments are made for the first seven years of use of your new equipment at quarterly intervals.

You can find out what you might earn by using the RHI calculator on the Department of Energy and Climate Change website here.
