Air Source Heat Pumps in Essex.
Air source heat pumps are the future of home heating in Essex — and we’re the local MCS-accredited team to install yours. Lower running costs, lower carbon, and £7,500 off with the Government Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
Why an air source heat pump makes sense in Essex.
Essex has a milder climate than much of the UK, which means air source heat pumps (ASHPs) work brilliantly here. They extract heat from the outside air — even when it’s cold — and use it to heat your home and hot water. For every 1kW of electricity they use, modern ASHPs produce 3–4kW of heat, making them far cheaper to run than oil, LPG or direct electric heating.
Pair that with the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant and there’s never been a better time to switch.
How an air source heat pump works.
It sounds like magic, but it’s clever engineering. Your heat pump moves heat rather than creating it — that’s why it’s so efficient.
1. Absorbs Heat
A refrigerant cycle absorbs heat from the outside air, even at -15°C.
2. Compresses It
A compressor increases the temperature of that absorbed heat.
3. Distributes Warmth
The heat is transferred to your radiators, underfloor heating and hot water cylinder.
4. Repeats Automatically
A weather-compensated controller runs the system 24/7 to keep your home at the perfect temperature.
