Are Air Source Heat Pumps only Suitable for New Buildings?

Because air source heat pumps require good insulation to function properly, you might mistakenly believe they are only suitable for newly built, energy-efficient homes.

The good news is that air source heat pumps are suitable for the vast majority of UK homes—even those that experience some heat loss during the colder months.

Of course, if you live in an older, poorly ventilated house, you'll need to ensure proper insulation before considering an air source heat pump, including attics and wall cavities, as well as installing double-glazed windows.

For most people, this won't require much effort—and it will significantly improve your home's energy efficiency and drastically reduce your heating costs.
