Air Source Heat Pump + Solar in Southampton
An air-to-air heat pump is the only device that both heats AND cools your home from one unit. Pair it with solar and you cut both your winter heating bills and your summer running cost in a single install. In Southampton, where summer highs regularly reach 27°C, the case for cooling is clear, and the same sun driving that heat can power it.

The South East sun is enough

Questions, answered
Does a heat pump do air conditioning?
An air-to-air heat pump does. In cooling mode it works exactly like an air conditioner, and in heating mode it's roughly three times more efficient than a gas boiler.
What is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme?
A UK government grant of £7,500 toward a heat pump installation for owner-occupiers with a suitable EPC. It's the single biggest subsidy in the home-energy grant stack.
