Heat pumps are the future of heating for those who want to cut their carbon emissions and embrace a greener lifestyle. Powered by electricity, they capture heat from outside your property and move it inside via a network of tubes, which act like a refrigerator in reverse. As a result, no fuel is burned, and no carbon is emitted, making heat pumps a truly eco-friendly option.

Air Source Heat Pumps are suitable for a range of property types, so whether you have a flat or a detached house, you could have one installed.
Ensuring your home is energy efficient and adequately insulated will ensure you get the most benefit from your heating system; this is particularly important if you are considering an Air Source Heat Pump. Like underfloor heating, an Air Source Heat Pump warms your home gently and relies on the fabric of the building to retain heat. Therefore, Heat Pumps work best when installed at an already energy-efficient property. If you are considering one, we recommend ensuring that your home is properly insulated before engaging an installer. Aura Heating can offer advice and support in relation to the energy loss of your property and insulation requirements.
National grants such as the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme are available to provide financial support for people wanting to install insulation in their homes.
If you’d like to discuss having a heat pump installed at your property, get in touch with our heat pump installers at Aura Heating. We’ll visit you to conduct a site survey, energy assessment, and sound assessment, talk you through the products and grant funding options.
There’s no need to apply for grant funding yourself – as MCS Certified installers; we’ll do that on your behalf. All you need to do is decide if you’re happy to proceed, and if so, arrange a convenient date for work to begin. Depending on the condition of your pipework and the size of your radiators, work may be between 2 days to a week, but we’ll ensure you face as little disruption to your routine as possible.
At Aura Heating, we are a team of experienced MCS Certified installers with the expertise to carry out safe, efficient Heat Pump installation. Established in 2005, we have a reputation for providing outstanding customer service and high-quality products and can offer ongoing support for all our customers after installation.
Our team covers Dorset, Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey and Sussex, and we have an ‘Excellent’ rating on Trustpilot. Look at our reviews to find out what previous customers have said about us.
During your site survey, our engineers will look at your existing system, the size of your radiators, and the design of the existing pipework. We'll also ascertain where the heat pump can be placed and assess the type and efficiency of your existing insulation.
In addition, we'll carry out a sound assessment, which is necessary for compliance with planning requirements. This will ensure that any noise the unit produces doesn't exceed a certain level.
While the units produce some noise, it is not excessive, and we have not received complaints regarding noisy appliances. We find an Air Source Heat Pump noise is similar to an electric toothbrush or an electric shaver.
Like Satellite TV dishes (when they grew in popularity), were given ‘Permitted Development’ (PD) rights Heat Pumps are the same. In most cases do not need Planning Permission for an Air Source Heat Pump. As part of the pre-installation checks an assessment should be done to ensure that the installation will meet the PD rights or advise you of what steps may be taken to meet the PD rights if it doesn’t. Sometimes, this is as simple as putting a wooden structure over the heat pump but alternatively you may need to apply to your local authority if you cannot meet the PD rights. If you live in a Conservation Area or your property is Listed, then it is likely you will need Planning approval from your local authority.
Absolutely. Heat Pumps can replace both oil and gas boilers, as well as electric storage heaters. In addition, they are more efficient than all these types of heating, potentially saving you upwards of £1,000 per year on energy bills.
You can combine your Air Source Heat Pump with solar panels to create a super-efficient and environmentally friendly system. Depending on the size of your solar array, you may even be able to power your Heat Pump entirely with solar energy.
Heat Pumps are capable of heating your entire property. We'll determine the pump size needed to heat your home at the site survey and recommend radiator sizes if required. We have fitted Heat Pumps in three-bedroom semi-detached houses as the sole heating source, as well as small one bedroom properties and also larger 5/6 bedroom houses. A heat pump is sized to heat the property, based on the heat the property requires, this should be individual to each installation.
Its one of the biggest myths that heat pumps are only suitable for new build properties, naturally the newer the property the better the overall insulation envelope of the property and the smaller size heat pump you would need. However, at Aura Heating we only install into the ‘Retrofit Market’ and have installed heat pumps successfully in properties that have been built well over the 100 years ago. Our energy assessment will calculate the heat that is required within the property to ensure the heat pump is suitable, and capable of heating the home.
