Air Source Heat Pump Installers Scotland

Increasing energy bills, the need to reduce carbon emissions and the raft of challenging legislation are driving the demand for alternative forms of domestic heating to improve energy efficiency.

Familiar with the concept of heat pumps? Put simply, in heating mode they extract latent heat from the outside air and use it to heat water or other indoor areas. In cooling mode the process is reversed.

Depending on your requirements it’s perfectly possible to extract heat from parts of your premises that need cooling and transfer it to those that need heating. Simultaneous cooling and heating.

Smart, super efficient, environmentally friendly and really cost effective. Ingenious stuff. In fact heat pumps are now so efficient that even with temperatures as low as -20°C, an air source heat pump can still supply you piping hot water and heating.

Ideal if you’ve no mains gas, ideal too if you want to cut bills. Great for your green credentials too.

We can now offer Air Source Heat Pumps with efficiencies as good as Ground Source Heat Pumps and they are easier and quicker to install than most ground source options. 

With state-of-the-art air to air and air to water heat pumps from Mitsubishi Electric available as both split and packaged systems, we’ve everything you need to get you supplied, installed and supported.

Client  Review 

Watch what a client says about our services.

There are lots of benefits from using air source heat pumps

Save Money

Heat pumps save money. Heat pumps are cheaper to run than direct electric heating. They are cheaper to run than oil boilers and can be cheaper than running gas boilers. Because heat pumps can be fully automated they demand much less work than biomass boilers.

Save Carbon Emmissions

Heat pumps save carbon emissions. Unlike burning oil, gas, LPG or biomass, a heat pump produces no carbon emissions on site (and no carbon emissions at all, if a renewable source of electricity is used to power them).

Improve Safety

Heat pumps are safe. There is no combustion involved and no emission of potentially dangerous gases. No flues are required.

Provide Cooling

Heat pumps save space. There are no fuel storage requirements and can provide cooling in summer, as well as heating in winter.

FAQs

Got an Air Source Heating Question? We’re here to help.
  • How much does it cost to install Air Source Heat Pump?

    Cost depends on several factors such as the existing central heating system, the number of radiators required and the size of the property.


    As a guide, 3 bedroom detached house with existing radiators would cost around £ - £ to convert to air source.

  • What type of properties are suitable for Air Source?

    To tell if an air source heat pump is right for you, there are a few key questions to consider:


    Do you have somewhere to put it? You'll need a place outside your home where a unit can be fitted to a wall or placed on the ground. It will need plenty of space around it to get a good flow of air. A sunny wall is ideal.

    Is your home well insulated? Since air source heat pumps work best when producing heat at a lower temperature than traditional boilers, it's essential that your home is well insulated and draught-proofed for the heating system to be most efficient.

    What fuel will you be replacing? The system will pay for itself much more quickly if it's replacing an electricity or coal heating system. Heat pumps may not be the best option for homes using mains gas.

    What type of heating system will you use? Air source heat pumps can perform better with underfloor heating systems or warm air heating than with radiator-based systems because of the lower water temperatures required.

    Is the system intended for a new development? Combining the installation with other building work can reduce the cost of installing the system.

  • Will I save money by fitting an air source heat pump?

    From data provided by BRE testing (the UK's leading centre for independent advice for the built environment) and from case study analysis running costs can be reduced over a conventional gas boiler by approximately 35%. These saving are achieved using standard tariff electricity.

  • Do I need planning permission for Air Source Heat Pumps?

    Yes planning permission is currently required for the install. This situation is currently under review by the government.

  • Do Air Source Heat Pumps generate much noise?

    No, they hum no louder than a large refrigerator. The units have undergone many years of research and development.

  • What areas do you cover?

    TKM have customers all over Scotland. Primarily we work in the Glasgow area and the Central belt but we also have customers from Dumfries and Galloway, the Borders as well as Argyll and Bute and our engineers regularly travel to these locations
