What is an air source heat pump?
An air source heat pump, sometimes referred to as an air-to-water source heat pump, transfers heat from the outside air to water, which heats your rooms via radiators or underfloor heating. It can also heat water stored in a hot water cylinder for your hot taps, showers and baths.
Heat from the air is absorbed into a fluid. This fluid then passes through a heat exchanger into the heat pump, which raises the temperature and then transfers that heat to water.
Air source heating is the most popular renewable heating solution.
Combining the simple installation with competitive installation cost, air source is the ideal retrofit renewable heating solution. At the same time, they are eligible to earn Renewable Heat Incentive payments. A suitably sized air source heat pump will supply 100% of a property’s heating and hot water demand.

What is a Ground Source Heat Pump?
Ground Source Heat pumps are an ideal option for homes which are far away from mains amities and are a efficient and economical.
Like ASHP, they convert natural resources energy, however they take their energy for the heat within the ground band continue to work efficiently in colder temperatures and can be installed indoors or in an outbuilding
Ground source heating is the optimum form of renewable heating, offering maximum efficiency and the biggest benefit through efficiency.
Again, appropriately designed ground source installations will supply all a home or business’ heating and hot water demand.
A ground source heat pump installation tends to be more involved. However, despite the additional costs and disruption, ground source heating offers an excellent return on investment.

A fantastic company which I would highly recommend. I called up with a plumbing issue and was told a plumber could attend the next day. Brilliant! Paul turned up even earlier than planned due to a previous job taking less time than expected. He was polite, friendly and knowledgeable and sorted the issue promptly. ......and the best part about it all was that it didn't break the bank. I will definitely use again. Thanks Paul!
