Air Source Heat Pumps for Your Home
If you’re looking to replace an older boiler, reduce your home’s carbon emissions or improve energy efficiency, an air source heat pump could provide reliable heating and hot water all year round.
Many homeowners are choosing renewable heating because it offers a more sustainable alternative to traditional oil, LPG and some electric heating systems.
Every home is different, which is why we take the time to assess your property’s heating requirements before recommending a solution. Our advice is based on what will work best for your home, not simply the latest technology.
Air Source Heat Pumps for Commercial Buildings
Commercial buildings often have more complex heating requirements.
Schools, offices, care homes, public buildings, sports facilities and commercial premises all require reliable heating systems that perform efficiently throughout the year.
- New air source heat pump installations
- Planned preventative maintenance
- System upgrades
- Reactive repairs
- Ongoing servicing
- Heating system optimisation
Why Choose an Air Source Heat Pump?
Air source heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular heating solution because they provide an efficient alternative to traditional fossil fuel systems.
Benefits include:
Is an Air Source Heat Pump Right for Your Property?
- Your existing heating system
- Property insulation
- Heat loss
- Radiator suitability
- Hot water demand
- Available outdoor space
Some properties may benefit from larger radiators or other heating improvements to achieve the best performance.
Our goal is to recommend a system that is properly designed for your property and how you use it.
Questions We Ask Before Recommending an Air Source Heat Pump
Every property is different, which is why we never recommend an air source heat pump without first understanding how your building is heated and what you’re trying to achieve.
During your survey, we’ll talk through a few key questions to make sure the system is right for you.
Is your property well insulated?
Air source heat pumps work most efficiently in buildings that retain heat well.
If your property has poor insulation, improving that first may increase comfort while helping any new heating system operate more efficiently.
What heating system do you have now?
Whether you’re replacing a gas boiler, oil boiler, LPG system or electric heating, your existing setup helps determine the most suitable solution.
We’ll assess what is already in place before making recommendations.
Are your radiators suitable?
Heat pumps operate differently from traditional boilers.
Many existing radiators work perfectly well, while others may benefit from upgrading to larger radiators or underfloor heating to maximise efficiency.
We’ll explain exactly what is recommended and why.
How much hot water do you need?
Every property has different demands.
A family home uses hot water differently from a care home, office or commercial premises.
Understanding your requirements allows us to size both the heat pump and hot water cylinder correctly.
Is there enough outdoor space?
Air source heat pumps require an outdoor unit with adequate airflow.
During the survey we’ll identify the most suitable location while considering access, noise levels, pipework routes and the overall appearance of the installation.
What are you hoping to achieve?
This is often the most important question.
Some customers want lower energy bills.
Others are replacing an unreliable heating system, reducing carbon emissions or future-proofing their property.
Understanding your priorities helps us recommend the most appropriate solution rather than simply recommending a heat pump because it is a popular technology.
Sometimes an air source heat pump is the best option.
Sometimes another heating solution may be more suitable.
Our advice is always based on what works best for your property.

Why Proper System Design Matters
Most problems people experience with air source heat pumps are not caused by the equipment itself.
They are caused by poor system design.
A heat pump should be selected based on your property’s heat loss, hot water demand and heating system, not simply because it looks suitable on paper.
Taking the time to assess insulation, radiator sizing, flow temperatures and overall system performance helps ensure your heat pump operates efficiently for years to come.
At Ignite, we take the time to understand your property before recommending a solution, helping you invest in a heating system that is designed to perform rather than simply installed to specification.

We've used Ignite Service Ltd on several commercial mechanical projects and have always been impressed. The team are organised and reliable. They work well alongside other contractors and always leave the site tidy. Thanks again.
Would highly recommend Ignite Service. Have used them for planned maintenance and reactive call-outs and have always received excellent service. Fast response times, reliable engineers and work completed to a high standard.
I have several rental properties and I always use Ignite fort the annual gas safety checks, the boiler services and any emergency call outs. They are always easy to get in contact with and always respond quickly.
Excellent electrical installation carried out by Ignite Service at one of our commercial sites. Everything was completed on schedule with no delays and minimal disruption to our business.
We had a leak from under our kitchen sink and Ignite Service came out the same day. They quickly fixed the problem and would highly recommend them.
Ignite Service have been upgrading the plumbing in our newly renovated kitchen. It’s been a big project, but Ignite communicated with us excellently throughout, and always turned up when they said they would. The pricing was very competitive and we are really happy with their work.

Ross and team have been servicing and maintaining our boiler for years and we’ve recently had a new boiler fitted with them. We had a few issues (from when the house was built, nothing to do with Ignite) but Ignite were able to identify the problem and resolve it. The team are very knowledgeable and made sure we understood everything they were doing.
I recently lost all hot water and Ignite were able to come out to my property and fix the problem the same day which I really appreciated as I have young children in the property.
Thank you to the whole team at Ignite. Everyone was so friendly and professional, and left my home very tidy. I would definitely recommend them to others.
