Go Green by Upgrading to a Air Source Heat Pump
Fighting climate change is important to us here at Pace Heating & Plumbing and we believe that air source heat pumps can help Londoners operate their homes in a more environmentally sustainable and affordable manner.
Air Source Heat Pumps can heat your home – giving you heat home and keep your family comfortable when it isn’t too cold outside. That makes them one of the easiest ways to help reduce your CO2 emissions without sacrificing comfort.
And since a air source heat pump is more efficient than a boiler at milder temperatures, it may help you reduce your energy bills too. It can also help reduce your carbon footprint from an energy usage (running the equipment) standpoint. This is because the electricity grid here is fairly clean and produced largely from non-carbon emitted sources.

How does a air source heat pump work?
During the winter, an air source heat pump keeps your home warm by removing heat from the air outside and pushing it inside. Your boiler only kicks in when the temperature really drops.
What are the environmental benefits of an air source heat pump?
- Air source heat pumps run on electricity and consequently produce lower CO2 emissions than a boiler that burns natural gas.

Is an air source heat pump right for my home?
There’s no doubt that air source heat pumps have a huge role to play in the future of home heating. However not all properties are suitable for an air source heat pump.
It’s important to ensure that your home is suitable for an air source heat pump before having one installed. Not all heat pumps are created equal. Choosing the right heat pump will help it run efficiently, help keep your budget in check and your home feeling comfortable.
Before you choose an air source heat pump unit, here are a few things to consider:
House Size and Location
How big is your home? Do you live in a warmer or colder part of the country? Both are key considerations when determining your unit size and power.
Insulation
How well is your home insulated? The amount and type of insulation will influence the size and power of the heat pump you will need.
Energy Efficiency
You could potentially be saving up to £900 on your energy bills each year by replacing your current heating system with an Air Source Heat Pump.
if you have a new gas boiler with an ErP A rating installed, then you’re better off sticking with what you’ve got. However, if you have an older boiler or one that runs on electricity then you could be making considerable savings each year.
Even the most efficient boilers waste energy, often somewhere between 6-12% of the energy they use, while an Air Source Heat Pump produces 3 times as much energy as it uses. As Air Source Heat Pumps are powered by electricity, ensure that you’re on the best energy tariff available.
the point above are essential as air-to-water heat pumps heat the water circulated to the central heating radiators to a lower temperature than boilers. Without the above, your home wouldn’t feel the benefit of the heat pump.
In addition, air-to-water heat pumps also need to be installed alongside a hot water storage cylinder. A hot water unvented cylinder which is where the domestic hot water is stored and kept warm until it needs to be delivered to a tap, bath or shower.

What our customer are saying
Prompt, Thorough and Professional, Pace Heating & Plumbing recently completed the installation of a new condensing boiler and an un-vented hot water tank in our new GP surgery. GREAT JOB they showed up when they said they would. Had everything with them, none of this “have to go back to the shop…”. They did a very neat and clean installation one of the best we have seen (and this is our 4th surgery), filed all of the necessary paperwork for the units we had installed.
“We recently undertook a large project. The project turned out great and was done efficiently and in a timely manner. As always, any service work needing done at our office is promptly looked after with a common sense approach. They are a skilled company who look after their customers”
We have used Pace Heating & Plumbing for many years. They have worked on our own equipment and on equipment at rental properties we own, doing service work and full boiler, water heater, and plumbing installs. Recently at a project we had a new boiler installed for under floor heating along with a new radiator. They are always prompt, friendly and professional, always cleaning up the job site when completed. We highly recommend the Pace crew.
