How they work.
An air source heat pump extracts heat from the outside air, even in colder weather, and uses it to heat your home and provide hot water. This is different from traditional systems like boilers, which burn fossil fuels to create heat.
Switching to an air source heat pump provides many benefits, such as lower energy bills, reduced carbon emissions and a reliable, energy-efficient heating solution.
Air source heat pumps can deliver up to four units of heat for every unit of electricity used, making them significantly more efficient than traditional systems. This means lower energy consumption and reduced utility bills.
By drawing heat from the air instead of burning fossil fuels, air source heat pumps help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a more sustainable, eco-friendly heating solution.
Air source heat pumps are easier to install with fewer components like fuel lines and chimneys. They also require less ongoing maintenance, making them a convenient choice for homeowners.
Air source heat pumps can both heat and cool your home, offering year-round climate control with a single system, providing flexibility and comfort in all seasons.

“Our boiler failed and was beyond repair. A replacement needed to be fitted quickly. S O’Brien Heating Solutions managed to supply, fit and commission a new boiler within two days. The fitting and commissioning was excellently carried out and was very professional and pleasant.”
– Edward Flintoff
“We were dealt with in a courteous and professional way at all times. Adam dealt with our boiler installation excellently and although we had problems with the tank in the loft he quickly resolved this. He even rang up the next day to check everything was okay and left his own number so we could get back to him.”
– David and Wendy Paulson
“I would highly recommend S O’Brien Heating Solutions – they’re a really good company to deal with. From the initial contact calling the office, the ladies are always extremely friendly, helpful and efficient. We’ve been using them for a few years and the engineers have all been good. Recent work done was carried out by Adam – he’s such a nice lad. Friendly, respects your property, talks though what he’s doing and does a great job. Thank you!”

Air source heat pumps extract heat from the outside air to provide heating and hot water. Unlike traditional systems, which burn fossil fuels to generate heat, air source heat pumps use a refrigerant system to amplify and distribute heat, making them more energy-efficient and eco-friendly.
An air source heat pump typically lasts between 15 to 20 years, depending on factors such as regular maintenance, installation quality and usage. Some well-maintained units can even operate efficiently for 25 years or more.
Switching to an air source heat pump can lead to significant savings on energy bills, such as up to £1,330 per year when replacing electric storage heaters, £1,410 per year from an old LPG boiler or £520 per year from an old oil boiler.
Air source heat pumps reduce carbon emissions by using renewable energy from ambient air, rather than fossil fuels. They achieve high efficiency, reducing energy consumption and lowering carbon output, while also decreasing air pollution by avoiding harmful combustion emissions like nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide.
We offer pumps from all major manufacturers. After completing the in-person survey, S. O’Brien Heating Solutions will recommend the best options for your home. In some cases, factors like your house type or electrical capacity may influence the choice of brand to ensure optimal performance.
The physical installation of most typical air source heat pumps usually takes between two days and a week.
