An Air Source heat pump is a sustainable energy source that extracts heat from the outside air at a low temperature and transforming it into a liquid. The liquid will pass through a compressor and then the temperature is increased, it then transfers its higher heat temperature to the heating and hot water circuits throughout the property.

Saving on your energy bills just got even easier with The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). This is a Government scheme here in the UK, created to help boost the uptake of renewable heat technologies amongst UK householders by means of financial incentives. The RHI is the first scheme of this type with the British Government aiming to create 12% of the UK’s heating with renewable sources.
The domestic Renewable Heat Incentive was launched back in April 2014 to give financial support to households trying to embrace renewable heating systems. The scheme is available in England, Wales and Scotland and will run for 7 years.
