Summary

Air source heat pumps take warmth from the air outside (even when it’s cold outside) and use that heat to heat your home. Heat pumps can take a bit of getting used to, as they work and are operated differently to other forms of heating. They are designed to heat to low temperatures over a long period of time, rather than quickly providing heat when turned on like a traditional boiler heating system.

Heat pumps are designed to run for long periods of time. It is usually cheaper and provides more effective warmth to leave them running during the day, compared to only heating in the morning and evenings like your boiler.r
