What’s a heat pump?

...only the hottest thing in home heating

A heat pump sucks warmth from the air or ground outside and uses it to heat your home, and give you hot water. A bit like a fridge in reverse! It works all year round, even when it’s cold out – amazing, right?

They're also more efficient than traditional boilers and use less carbon. Helping us all on the Path to Zero – energy that's better for you, your wallet and the planet.

Cosy home. Happy planet.

Check out all the benefits of heat pumps

As toasty as ever

Most models can be controlled easily from an app, so you get all the cosiness with less of the carbon.

Super efficient

They’re at least 3 times more efficient than traditional gas boilers1.

Lasts for years longer

Your new heat pump can last over 20 years – up to 25% longer than your gas boiler2. And it’ll be easier to maintain too.

The 2 main types of heat pump

One absorbs heat from the air – the other from the ground

Air source heat pumps are more common (and less expensive) than ground source heat pumps. But it’s a good idea to read about both to decide which one’s right for you.

You might not know this – but heat pumps aren’t new. They’re tried and tested technology. And regularly used in countries around the world.

How do heat pumps work?

Let’s take a look...

Whether you choose a ground source heat pump or and an air source heat pump, they both work in pretty much the same way.

Step 1

Heat pumps absorb warmth from the air or ground, even in winter

Step 2

This warmth is compressed to create even more heat

Step 3

...and this is transferred into your home for radiators and underfloor heating. It can also be used to heat water in a hot water cylinder. Genius!

Pumped for planet Earth

Why heat pumps are the future

Did you know that home heating makes up roughly 14% of the UK’s carbon footprint3?

Luckily, heat pumps are set to change that. Because when you power them with renewable electricity you get all the cosiness, with less of the carbon.

For the UK to be net zero carbon by 2050, we need to cut carbon from our central heating systems – and fast!
