How an air-to-air heat pump works
An air-to-air heat pump is a split air conditioning system run in reverse. The outdoor unit takes heat from the outside air, even on cold days, and the indoor unit releases it into the room as warm air. The same system cools in summer.
Why choose one
- Low running costs: around 3.5–5 kWh of heat for every 1 kWh of electricity (a SCOP of 3.5–5).
- Fast: warm air within minutes, with each room controlled separately.
- Two jobs in one: heating in winter, cooling and dehumidifying in summer.
- Lower carbon: no gas or oil burnt on site.
Where they work best
Replacing electric panel or storage heaters, heating garden rooms, extensions and conservatories, topping up rooms the central heating struggles with, and heating offices, shops and workshops.
Grants and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant covers air-to-water heat pumps that feed radiators and hot water. It does not cover air-to-air systems, but air-to-air is much cheaper to install, so for many rooms it is still the better-value option. We will tell you which suits your building.

Heat pumps: common questions
Will an air-to-air heat pump work in winter?
Yes. Modern units heat effectively well below freezing, with a defrost cycle that runs automatically.
Can it replace my central heating?
It can heat individual rooms or a whole small home or flat, but it does not provide hot water.
Is there a grant?
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not cover air-to-air heat pumps. Their lower installed cost often makes up for it.
