Savings That Build Year on Year

Replacing a gas boiler with a heat pump can save around £300 a year. Over a 15-year lifespan, that adds up to over £4,500 – and if you're coming off oil or LPG, the figure is typically higher. We size every system to your home's actual heat demand.

Consistent Home Comfort

Modern ASHPs are rated to operate in temperatures as low as -25°C. The system extracts heat from the outside air even in the coldest months, it doesn't rely on warm weather to function.

A 15–25 Year System

A gas boiler has a typical lifespan of 10–15 years. Over a 30-year period, that's two or three replacements at £2,000–£4,000 each. A well-installed heat pump lasts 15–25 years with just an annual service.

Improved EPC Rating and Property Value

Replacing a fossil fuel system with a heat pump typically lifts your EPC by one or two bands. That directly reduces running costs and strengthens your home's position if you come to sell.

Minimal Ongoing Maintenance

One annual service to keep manufacturer warranties valid and performance consistent. No gas safety certificates, no oil deliveries. Beyond that annual check, there's very little to manage.

Efficient, Low-Cost Home Heating

Switching to an air source heat pump is one of the most effective upgrades you can make to your home, and with the BUS grant, the upfront cost can be reduced by up to £9000*.

An air source heat pump produces up to three times more heat energy than the electricity it uses. For homeowners still relying on an ageing gas, oil, or LPG boiler, switching to an ASHP can reduce annual heating costs by around £300.

At Elite Energy, we install air source heat pumps across Teesside, County Durham, Tyne and Wear, Northumberland, and Yorkshire. We're MCS-certified, TrustMark registered, and Gas Safe with over 5,000 installations completed and every project managed in-house from start to finish.

Is an ASHP Installation Right for You?

An air source heat pump uses renewable energy from the outside air to heat your home. Rather than burning fuel to generate heat, it moves existing warmth from the air into your property – even in temperatures as low as -25°C. Because of this, it can deliver up to three times more heat energy than the electricity it consumes, which is what drives the reduction in running costs compared to a gas or oil boiler.

An ASHP could be a good fit for you if:

You have outdoor space for the external unit: a rear garden, side access, or yard is usually sufficient
Your home currently runs on gas, oil, or LPG heating that you're looking to replace
You want to take advantage of up to £9,000* through the BUS grant while it's available
Your property has an EPC rating of D or below, which may qualify you for a fully funded installation through ECO4

If you're unsure on any of these, that's exactly what our home survey is for. We assess every property individually and will be upfront about whether an ASHP is the right option for your home.

Your Step-by-Step Air Source Heat Pump Installation

At Elite Energy, your installation is handled entirely in-house by our accredited team. We oversee every stage, ensuring you have one point of contact and a clear plan from day one.

Because we manage every step ourselves, you can be confident in clear timelines, high workmanship standards, and a smooth transition to your new, efficient heating system.

Initial Contact

We discuss your property, current heating system, and what you're looking to achieve. Whether you're paying privately or exploring a funded route, we'll confirm the right option for your home and arrange your free survey.

Approval Stage

Following your survey, we assess your home's heat demand, design a system matched to your property, and prepare your fixed-price quote with a full breakdown of costs. If you're applying through BUS or ECO4, we handle the application and confirm funding before any work is scheduled.

Installation Scheduling

Once your quote is approved and any funding confirmed, we book your installation at a time that works for you – typically within 2–4 weeks.

Installation

Our MCS-certified engineers complete the full installation, typically over 2–3 days. Once fitted and commissioned, we walk you through the controls and make sure everything is running as it should. Our team stays available for ongoing servicing and support from that point on.

How Much Does an Air Source Heat Pump Installation Cost?

For most homes, a private air source heat pump installation falls between £8,000 and £18,000, with a typical installation coming in around £14,000. This covers the heat pump unit, full installation, pipework, electrical work, controls, and any upgrades needed to get the best performance from your system.

Your final price depends on your property's size and heat demand, the system capacity required, and whether any adjustments to your existing heating layout are needed. A 2-bed terrace will sit at a different point in the range to a 4-bed detached – we confirm the exact cost after your free home survey so there are no surprises.

The Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) offers up to £9,000* government voucher for homeowners replacing a fossil fuel heating system. Most domestic air source heat pump installations qualify, meaning thousands of households can cut the upfront cost immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have tried to answer most questions here but if you have any other queries please feel free to contact us!

How long does an air source heat pump last?

A well-installed and maintained ASHP can last 15–20 years, with performance staying consistent throughout its lifespan. Many modern units are built with replaceable components, making repairs straightforward if needed.

Can an air source heat pump work with underfloor heating?

Yes, underfloor heating pairs well with heat pumps because it operates efficiently at lower water temperatures. This can further reduce running costs and improve comfort.

Will I need planning permission for an ASHP?

In most cases, installations fall under permitted development rights in England, Wales, and Scotland, meaning no planning permission is required. Exceptions apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, or certain noise restrictions.

Can an air source heat pump provide hot water as well as heating?

Yes, most systems can supply both space heating and domestic hot water when fitted with a compatible hot water cylinder. The system can be configured to prioritise heating or hot water depending on demand.

How noisy are air source heat pumps?

Modern units are designed to be very quiet in operation, often producing less noise than a standard kitchen appliance. Placement and correct installation help ensure minimal disruption.

Can an ASHP work alongside solar panels?

Yes, pairing a heat pump with solar PV can increase savings by using your self-generated electricity to power the system. This reduces reliance on the grid and can help offset seasonal variations in energy use.

What are the running costs compared to a gas boiler?

Running costs depend on electricity tariffs, insulation, and system efficiency, but many households see reduced annual heating bills of around £300, especially if replacing older, less efficient heating systems.
