What Is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump heats your home using electricity. It works like a fridge in reverse, taking heat from the air or ground (even in sub-zero weather), increasing it to a higher temperature and transferring it to your home to provide heating and hot water.
An air source heat pump unit is fixed on the outside of a home or property. A ground source heat pump unit is fitted outside of your home or property, usually in the ground. Air source heat pumps are the more popular choice, but some people opt for a ground source heat pump instead. Heat pumps are increasingly popular in the UK with over 80,000 of them sold in 2024, a record year and up 51% on the year before.
