FAQs

  • An air source heat pump is a system that can heat and cool your home by transferring heat between the inside of your home and the outside air. It works like a refrigerator but in reverse for heating: it absorbs heat from the outside air and transfers it inside your home. In summer, it can do the opposite to cool your home.

    • Energy Efficiency: They use less electricity than traditional heating systems.

    • Environmentally Friendly: They reduce carbon emissions.

    • Cost Savings: Lower energy bills in the long run.

    • Versatility: Can both heat and cool your home.

    • Low Maintenance: Require less upkeep than traditional systems.

  • The cost of installing a heat pump will depend on many factors including the size and age of your home, where the heat pump and cylinder will be located and how much pipework will need to be replaced.

    The great news is that the government offer a £7500 grant to help homeowners with the cost of upgrading to a heat pump.

    Libtek can give you a more precise estimate based on your specific needs here.

  • They are very energy efficient, often achieving efficiencies of 300-400%. This means they can produce three to four times more heat energy than the electrical energy they consume.

  • With proper maintenance, air source heat pumps can last 15-20 years.

  • They can be installed outside your home, on a wall, or on the ground. They need a bit of space for airflow but don't require too much room.

  • Yes, they can provide hot water for your home as well as heating.

  • In many cases, yes. However, they work best with underfloor heating or larger radiators, as they operate at lower temperatures than traditional boilers.

  • Yes, they can be installed in older houses. However, it's important that the house is well-insulated to get the most benefit. Libtek can advise on any necessary upgrades.

  • Modern air source heat pumps are designed to be quiet. You may hear a gentle hum when they are running, but they are generally not disruptive.

  • Yes, they can work efficiently in cold climates, even when temperatures drop below freezing. Advanced models are designed to extract heat from the air even in very low temperatures.

  • Yes, it’s a good idea to have proper insulation to ensure that the heat pump operates efficiently. Better insulation reduces the amount of energy needed to heat your home.

  • The £7500 boiler upgrade scheme offers financial assistance to help cover the cost of installing renewable heating systems like air source heat pumps.
