What Is the Government Air Source Heat Pump Grant?

An air source heat pump (ASHP) is an energy-efficient system that extracts heat from the outside air to warm your home and provide hot water. Even in cold weather, it transfers natural heat indoors using a small amount of electricity, making it a cleaner and more efficient alternative to gas or oil boilers.

Air source heat pumps are central to the UK’s move toward low-carbon heating under the ECO4 scheme. They help cut energy bills, reduce carbon emissions, and provide reliable warmth year-round — ideal for both modern and older homes when paired with good insulation.

How Air Source Heat Pumps Work

An air source heat pump (ASHP) absorbs heat from the outside air and transfers it indoors to warm your home and provide hot water. It uses a refrigerant cycle, similar to a fridge in reverse, where the compressor increases the temperature of the captured heat and circulates it through radiators, underfloor heating, or a hot water tank.

Because they use renewable outdoor air instead of burning fuel, air source heat pumps are highly efficient — generating up to four times more heat energy than the electricity they use. This makes them a clean, low-cost, and eco-friendly heating solution suitable for homes across Scotland.
