Types of Heat Pumps
Air Source vs. Ground Source
Heat pumps come in two main types: Air Source and Ground Source. Both heat your home efficiently but work in different ways.
Air source heat pumps
These extract energy from the air outside your home. They are easy to install and suitable for most properties, offering efficient heating even in colder climates.
Ground source heat pumps
These extract energy from the ground through a series of pipes buried in your garden. These systems are highly efficient and can provide consistent heating year-round but require more space and a more complex installation process.
Ground source heat pumps
Heat Your Home With a Ground Source Heat Pump
Ground source heat pumps extract heat from the ground to provide efficient heating and hot water for your home. They use the Earth’s steady temperature to provide reliable, consistent warmth year-round.
Suitable for homes with outdoor space
A ground source heat pump needs space for the ground loops and works best in well-insulated homes.
Installed in 5 to 7 days
Depending on the complexity of the system and any extra work, such as upgrading radiators or insulation.
Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant: £7,500, or £9,000 for eligible oil and LPG homes
Available towards a ground source heat pump for eligible homes in England and Wales. The £9,000 rate applies to eligible off-gas grid homes replacing oil or LPG heating, until 31 March 2027. Eligibility criteria apply.

How long does it take to install an air source heat pump?
Installation typically takes 3 to 5 days, depending on the complexity of the system and any additional work required, such as upgrading radiators or insulation.
