Air source heat pump technology explained
An air source heat pump is an environmentally friendly heat extraction unit that resembles an air conditioning unit located next to but outside your property. An air source heat pump runs solely on electricity not like more traditional gas or oil based systems and is designed to extract heat from the air outside your home even at temperatures below -15C. The unit then transfers that warmth to inside your home, providing heating and hot water.
MSC Heating are experienced and fully qualified in both domestic and commercial installations of air and ground source heat pumps covering the UK. We have a friendly team of installation engineers who are happy to discuss the benefits of installing your air or ground source heat pumps as part of your renewable energy system.
Heating your Bromsgrove home with an air source heat pump
The technology used within an air source pump is very similar to that of a fridge using compressors and heat exchangers but effectively in reverse. Even in colder weather , the air around your home contains latent heat and the air source heat pump is designed to catch that air from outside in order to heat a special refrigerant liquid. Once that liquid reaches a certain temperature, it transforms into a gas which can then be compressed. This cold gas is then transformed into a hot liquid and passed into a heat exchanger that heats water, sending it to both your radiator or underfloor heating system and your hot water taps. This cycle is repeated as once the gas has transferred its heat and reverts back to a liquid.
This whole process works at considerably lower temperatures than a gas or oil-fired boiler, generating a lower heat over longer time spans thus being more thermally efficient and reducing CO2 emissions. The whole process can heat your home more cost effectively with an energy efficiency of over 350% – compared to a gas boiler, which is about 90% efficient.
Heat your Bromsgrove home all year round – Just Set It & Forget It
In really cold weather, best practice is to set your thermostat to your preferred comfort temperature and then let it be. A heat pump is designed to maintain a steady temperature and work gradually and efficiently.

What to consider before installing an Air Source Heat Pump at your Bromsgrove home
Age of your current heating system?
External space suitable for air source heat pump
Internal space for water storage tank (replaces existing boiler)
Upgrading your current home insulation and radiators may be required
Underfloor heating may be the most efficient option
Potentially higher installation cost compared with alternative heating systems
Our free home survey will tell you if your home is suitable, or if there are any changes to your home you may need to consider.
Are there any ongoing maintenance costs to air source heat pumps?
Professionally fitted air source heat pumps
with regular annual servicing will result in
your systems lasting 15 years or more.
However there are a few basic
maintenance things you can do yourself
to ensure your system is working efficiently
such as checking the area around your
heat pump is clear of leaves and general
debris and snow in the winter months.
Contact MSC Heating for government grants eligibility?
Introduced in April 2022, The Boiler Upgrade Scheme is designed to encourage the nation to replace gas boilers with greener, cleaner alternatives as part of the UK’s plans to reach Net Zero by 2050.
The UK government, subject to eligibility, are offering financial incentives for people living in across the UK to switch to sustainable heating such as air source heat pumps.
The scheme gives homeowners across the UK £7,500 to help with the initial cost of upgrading
