Are Air Source Heat Pumps Worth It?

Yes, but not just because of payback. At Assembly Renewables, we believe the real value of a heat pump lies in what it adds to your home and lifestyle straight away.
An Investment
in Your Home
Installing a heat pump like the Samsung EHS or Grant Aerona R290 is an instant property upgrade. It adds value to your home the moment it’s installed, so the return on investment can be immediate, not something you wait years for.
Everyday Comfort & Efficiency
A heat pump allows you to keep your home at an ideal, steady temperature all day, all year round, without the peaks and troughs of a traditional boiler.
It uses 3–4 times less energy (kWh) to produce the same amount of heat, so you stay warm while being green.
We will only install a system if we can design it to lower your overall running costs. If a system would increase them, we won’t recommend or install it.
Long-Term Reliability & Lower Costs
Heat pumps are built to last 15–20 years, often longer than a boiler.
Servicing costs are lower, with fewer moving parts and no risk of gas-related faults.
Many systems improve water pressure and flow, enhancing daily comfort.
A Bonus: Running Cost Savings
Yes, there will be a payback element from reduced fuel bills over time — but that’s the bonus, not the main reason to switch.
The real return is in the added property value, comfort, and sustainability that start from day one.
When It’s a No-Brainer
We see heat pumps as a no-brainer investment if three conditions are met:
You have the budget to invest.
Your home is suitable (good survey, insulation, right design).
You qualify for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
Meet those, and you’re not just getting a heating system, you’re getting a smarter, greener, future-proof home!
✅ Our Position: Payback is nice, but the real win is upgrading your home and lifestyle today while cutting your carbon footprint for tomorrow, with the reassurance that we only install if your costs will go down.
