Air source heat pump install
An air source heat pump extracts heat from the outside air and uses it to warm your home and hot water - even in cold weather. For every unit of electricity it uses, it can produce three or more units of heat. It's a like-for-like replacement for an ageing gas boiler in most homes, running quietly outside and connecting straight into your existing radiators or underfloor heating.
Air source heat pumps are an energy-efficient, environmentally friendly way to heat your home and provide hot water. By extracting renewable heat from the outside air, they can help reduce your home’s carbon emissions while offering lower running costs compared with older, less efficient heating systems. Homeowners may also be eligible for funding through the Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme, making the switch to an air source heat pump more affordable than ever. As the UK continues its transition towards low-carbon heating, installing a heat pump is a smart investment for the future. At Harradine Plumbing & Heating, we design and install systems tailored to your home, ensuring maximum comfort and efficiency. Air source heat pumps work with radiators, underfloor heating, and hot water cylinders, providing reliable year-round heating with minimal maintenance. As Mitsubishi Electric Accredited Air Source Heat Pump Installers, we’re committed to delivering high-quality installations, expert advice, and ongoing support to help you get the very best from your new heating system.
What are the benefits of air source heat pumps?
Lower Running Costs
Highly efficient heat generation means lower energy bills compared to older heating systems.
Lower Carbon Footprint
No gas burned on-site, cutting your home's carbon emissions significantly.
Low Maintenance
Fewer moving parts than a boiler, means less to go wrong and simpler annual servicing.
Quiet Operation
Modern units run quietly outside, with minimal noise indoors or for neighbours.
Long Lifespan
A well maintained heat pump can last 20+ years, often outlasting a gas boiler
Works With Your Home
Fits most existing radiator or underfloor systems - no need to rip out your current setup.

How do Air Source Heat Pumps work?
Even cold outdoor air contains heat energy that the system can use.
A refrigerant absorbs the heat and a compressor raises it to a useful temperature.
The heat pump warms the water circulating through your home's heating system.
Warm water supplies radiators, underfloor heating and, where fitted, a hot water cylinder.

Yes - modern air source heat pumps are designed to work efficiently even in sub-zero temperatures, extracting heat from the outside air all year round, including through a typical Cambridgeshire winter.
In most homes, no - heat pumps can run through existing radiators or underfloor heating. In some cases, larger radiators are recommended for maximum efficiency, which we'll assess as part of your installation.
No - modern units run quietly, typically around the same noise level as a fridge or air conditioning unit, and are positioned outside where they have minimal impact indoors.
Most UK homeowners replacing a fossil fuel heating system (gas, oil, or LPG) are eligible for up to £7,500 off an air source heat pump installation. We can check your eligibility and handle the application for you. For more information check out our Boiler Upgrade Scheme page HERE.
