FAQ
What is an air source heat pump?
An air source heat pump is a low-carbon heating system that extracts heat from the outside air—even in cold temperatures—and uses it to warm your home and hot water. It works like a reverse fridge, using electricity to move heat rather than generate it.
Are air source heat pumps suitable for all types of homes?
Most homes can benefit from an air source heat pump, especially if they are well-insulated. They are ideal for new builds and properties undergoing renovation, but they can also be retrofitted into existing homes with the right upgrades.
How efficient are air source heat pumps?
Air source heat pumps can achieve efficiencies of 300–400%, meaning for every unit of electricity used, they can produce 3–4 units of heat. This makes them far more efficient than traditional gas or oil boilers.
Do I need underfloor heating for an air source heat pump?
While underfloor heating is ideal due to its low-temperature operation, it’s not essential. Air source heat pumps can also work with modern, oversized radiators to effectively heat your home.
Will I still need a boiler?
In most cases, no. A well-sized and professionally installed heat pump can replace your boiler entirely. However, some systems may use a hybrid setup depending on your home’s layout and heating demand.
How much maintenance does an air source heat pump need?
Minimal. We recommend an annual service to keep your system running efficiently and to maintain your warranty. Croston Plumbing offers ongoing support and servicing for all installations.
Are air source heat pumps noisy?
Modern units are designed to be quiet and comply with strict noise regulations. When installed properly, they should produce no more than a gentle hum, similar to a fridge.
