- Sustainability: Air-source heat pumps are a low carbon, sustainable heating solution that offer a cleaner alternative to burning fossil fuels like gas.
What are Heat Pumps?
Unlike conventional heating systems that generate heat through combustion, air-source heat pumps extract thermal energy from the ambient air and transfer it indoors, even at outdoor air temperatures as low as -25°C. This is why air-source heat pumps are about 4 times more efficient than gas boilers. Ground-source heat pumps work in the same way as air-source heat pumps, extracting heat from the ground. It’s also possible for both air source and ground source heat pumps to cool your home in the summer, too.
How Do Heat Pumps Work?
Heat pumps use electricity to transfer heat from outside to inside. The two types we offer are:
- Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP): The UK commonly uses this type. They extract heat from the air, even in colder weather, then use it to warm your home and hot water.
- Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP): Buried pipework allows these pumps to draw heat from the ground, providing a stable, consistent heat source.
Many homeowners in Havant opt for air source heat pumps because they are more affordable to install, as they don’t require the groundworks required by ground source heat pumps.
Benefits of Using a Heat Pump in Havant
Heat pumps offer clear, immediate benefits for Havant homeowners:
- High Energy Efficiency: Heat pumps deliver 3 to 4 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity they use. This performance makes them 4 times more efficient than a gas boiler.
- Lower Running Costs: Replacing an oil or gas boiler with a heat pump can reduce your energy bills by providing heat with less energy input, helping you save money.
- Long-Term Reliability: Heat pumps have a longer lifespan than gas boilers and, with proper maintenance, last for 15 to 20 years.
- Minimal Maintenance: The systems require little maintenance. You only need a yearly inspection to keep up efficiency and safety.
- Real-time Remote Monitoring: We also offer remote monitoring as standard, helping to identify and potentially resolve any problems without the need for a call-out.
- Eco-Friendly: Heat pumps run on electricity rather than fossil fuels. This makes them a sustainable energy solution. They reduce carbon emissions and contribute to a greener planet.
Heat Pump Costs and Grants in Havant

Customer Reviews
Trustpilot (reviewer: Sarah H.)
“The installation itself was seamless. The technicians arrived on time, worked efficiently, and left everything clean and tidy. I was particularly impressed with their attention to detail and the care they took to ensure everything was set up perfectly. Since the installation, the heat pump has been performing excellently, providing consistent energy-efficient heating and cooling. The installed products are a Vaillant heat pump and cylinder, which is brilliant. Once I decided to go ahead, the whole process ran very smoothly, thanks to Cinergi’s organisation and high standard of customer care. I was kept up to date about the installation, provided with all the information I needed, and the Cinergi team was always happy to answer questions. I was impressed with the engineers who installed my air source heat pump so skilfully, and I’m delighted with the final result.”
Cinergi’s official testimonials (reviewer: Jane W.)
“I just had a heat pump installed by Cinergi. Everything about the experience was positive. They never put you under any pressure to make a decision. They come when they say they will. We had up to 4 people in our home installing to make sure the system would work efficiently (as our home is old and the design quite complicated). Every single one of the installation team was lovely, and their work was completed to a very high standard. And they cleaned up after themselves. I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough. You’ll have a brilliant experience.”
FAQs About Heat Pump
Do ASHPs Require a Lot of Maintenance?
No. Air-source heat pumps require little maintenance. You only need an annual service to ensure everything is functioning correctly and safely.
How Much Does an ASHP Installation Cost in Havant, and What Grants are Available?
Installation costs range between £5,000 and £9,000. This figure is after we deduct the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant (up to £7,500) from the total initial cost for eligible customers.
Is my Home Suitable for a Heat Pump?
Whether your home is suitable for a heat pump is not a simple yes-or-no question. While heat pumps work in almost any property, you may need to improve your insulation if your house is currently poorly insulated. You must also consider space and local rules: you need space for both the internal and external units, and the external unit requires clear space around it to allow proper airflow.
Furthermore, homes in conservation areas or listed properties may require planning permission before you install an external unit.
We always provide a detailed heat-loss survey to ensure we correctly size the system and guarantee it operates efficiently in your home.
Do Heat Pumps Work in Cold Weather?
Yes, modern air source heat pumps operate well even in freezing temperatures. They draw heat energy from the air down to as low as -25°C, meaning you get consistent heating throughout the year, ideal for any British weather.
