Baxi HP60 High Temperature Monobloc Air Source Heat Pump

Air source heat pumps work best when they are allowed to run continuously. You’ll need to keep it switched on, even in summer, for it to work efficiently throughout the year.

Air source heat pumps that are installed correctly and in accordance with key guidelines are designed to be safe and efficient, with numerous safety features required as part of the installation.

According to the UK government’s Simple Energy Advice website, installing an ASHP in a typical four-bedroom detached house could improve the property’s EPC rating from a D to a B, potentially saving homeowners up to £1,300 per year on their energy bills.

When talking about the size of an air source heat pump, we’re actually referring to the power output, measured in kilowatts (kW) rather than its physical size. The output your heat pump will need to deliver depends on unique aspects of your home, such as:

• The size and layout of your property
• Occupancy and average heating usage
• How old your property is
• Quality of insulation
• Type of windows
• Your desired indoor temperature 

These, naturally, will be different for everyone, so be sure that you assess all of these carefully with your installer.
