Countless people all over the world use air source heat pumps to heat their homes these days, mainly because they are known for being efficient, economical and greener than other home heating systems.

There are, however, a few points you need to bear in mind before you install an air source heat pump in your home. Choosing the right heating system for you and your family is important, as is making sure your home is set up correctly so that you get the best use out of your heat pump.

The first thing to consider is your current heating bills, and how much you could potentially save if you use a heat pump instead. You should sit down and work out the exact cost of heating your home over the course of a few years, then consult an air source heat pump specialist to see how much it would cost using this alternative method.

Air source heat pumps can replace your boiler completely, or they can run alongside a traditional heating system. This is the next thing you need to decide, especially if you live somewhere that is consistently freezing enough to warrant you needing a boiler as backup.

It is important to decide how you want to use your heat pump. Most people use air source heat pumps to heat their domestic hot water and in their central heating systems, but you can also use the heat generated to supply under floor heating if you have it fitted.

The last thing you need to do before installing a heat pump is to fully insulate your home with double glazing, cavity wall and roof insulation, if you haven’t done so already. This is to maximise the heat supplied by your heat pump.
