Air Source Heat Pump Installation Hampshire
Eco Heating specialises in air source heat pump (ASHP) installation across Hampshire, West Sussex, and Surrey. With the government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme offering £7,500 off the cost of a heat pump installation, there has never been a better time to make the switch.
What Is an Air Source Heat Pump?
An air source heat pump extracts heat energy from the outside air — even in temperatures as low as -20°C — and uses it to heat your home and hot water. For every unit of electricity it uses, a well-sized heat pump produces 3–4 units of heat, making it 3–4 times more efficient than a gas boiler.
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme — £7,500 Off
The UK government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) provides a £7,500 grant towards air source heat pump installation. To claim the grant, installation must be by an MCS certified installer. We handle the application on your behalf.
- Grant: £7,500 for air source heat pumps
- Available to homeowners in England and Wales
- No means testing — available regardless of income
- Grant applied directly by your installer
Heat Pump vs Gas Boiler
Heat pumps produce very low carbon emissions, achieve 300–400% efficiency, and qualify for the £7,500 BUS grant. They last 20+ years and are fully future-proof as the UK moves to net zero. Gas boilers are cheaper upfront but produce high emissions and no grant is available.
