Air source heat pumps in Essex

Keeping your home warm in Essex doesn’t have to come with rising bills or a heavy environmental cost. As energy prices continue to climb, many homeowners are seeking more efficient alternatives to traditional gas or oil-fired boilers. These older systems can be costly to run and maintain, and they contribute significantly to carbon emissions.

An air source heat pump offers a cleaner, more cost-effective solution. These systems extract heat from the outside air—even during colder months—and convert it into reliable warmth for your home. Whether you’re upgrading your existing system or looking for a more sustainable option, our expert team at JP Air Conditioning will handle every aspect of the installation with care and precision.

FAQs – Air conditioning in London

Is an air source heat pump worth it in the UK?

Yes, absolutely – especially with the UK’s relatively mild climate. Air source heat pumps are highly efficient and can significantly lower your heating bills over time. They’re also eligible for financial incentives like the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), making the switch even more cost-effective.

How much does an air source heat pump system cost in the UK?

On average, a complete air source heat pump system, including installation, costs between £7,000 and £14,000, depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the installation. At JP Air Conditioning, we provide tailored quotes to ensure you get the right system for your needs and budget.

What is the downside of the air source heat pump?

The main drawback is that their efficiency can drop in extremely cold weather, although modern systems have greatly improved in this regard. Installation can also be more complex than traditional systems, but with our experienced team handling it from start to finish, you’re in safe hands.

Why is my electric bill so high with an air source heat pump?

While heat pumps are more efficient than traditional electric heating, they do still rely on electricity to operate. If your insulation is poor or your thermostat is set too high, your system may have to work harder. We’ll assess your insulation and usage during installation to help keep running costs down.

How much does it cost to run a heat pump for an hour?

This depends on your electricity tariff and the output of your system. On average, running a standard air source heat pump may cost 15–25p per hour. Over time, the efficiency of the system can lead to substantial savings compared to oil or gas heating.

Why is the air source heat pump poor on an EPC? 

If an air source heat pump is poorly installed, incorrectly sized, or paired with inadequate insulation, it may perform below expectations – which could affect your EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) score. That’s why working with certified and experienced installers like JP Air Conditioning is crucial for optimal performance and results.
