How does an air-to-water heat pump work?
An air-to-water heat pump works by transferring heat between the indoor and outdoor air using a refrigerant cycle, the heat produced is absorbed into a fluid.
The fluid goes through a heat exchanger, raising the temperature and finally transferring the heat to water which is distributed through radiators or underfloor pipes in your home.
How much do air-to-water heat pumps cost?
According to the Energy Saving Trust, a typical air-to-water heat pump installation costs around £11,000, though this can vary depending on the size of your property and the system you choose.
This covers both the heat pump hardware and the installation work carried out by a contractor.
Homeowners in England and Wales may be eligible for a £7,500 grant under the government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), which is applied by your installer and deducted directly from your installation costs.
In Scotland, the Home Energy Scotland scheme offers equivalent support.
As air-to-water heat pumps can heat your home through underfloor heating, many people choose to install the pipes for this at the same time. This will incur additional costs but means you can enjoy heated flooring throughout your home.
Depending on the age of your property, additional work such as roof insulation, double glazing, or radiator upgrades may also be required to get the most out of your heat pump.

Should I choose an air-to-water heat pump?
Choosing an air-to-water heat pump for your heating and hot water needs offers energy efficiency, versatility, and the potential for significant savings on your energy bills.
These systems harness ambient air to provide reliable and eco-friendly heating, making them a sustainable choice for your home or business.
You can use your heat pump year round, as the ambient temperature outside your home can be turned into heated or cooled water to provide heating in colder months whilst being able to cool your home through indoor units during summer.
Can an air-to-water heat pump give me hot water from my tap?
Yes, air-to-water heat pumps can store warm water in a hot water cylinder, like a conventional boiler does, this means your heat pump can be used for hot showers, baths, or doing the dishes.
