Air source heat pumps do have some disadvantages to them. They’re more expensive than gas boilers for one, both in terms of set up costs and running costs, and even though they’re low-carbon, they don’t run on 100% green electricity.

So overall, it’s a more energy efficient solution to heating your home. An air source heat pump system could help to lower your energy bills, especially if you currently have an electric heating system or heat your home using LPG or oil.

Whether you choose air-source, ductless, ground-source, or advanced heat pump systems, you can enjoy comfortable temperatures and energy savings.

If the efficiency of the unit is equal, there won’t be much difference between the two for cooling costs. Over time, a heat pump can offer long-term savings on your heating AND cooling costs, whereas a new AC would only reduce your cooling costs.
