There are a few elements that could be considered to be air source heat pump disadvantages, inclusive of the relatively low level of noise they can make whilst in operation.
Concerns can also exist over whether or not air source heat pumps can provide an adequate heat output to comfortably warm a property on its own, or whether they will need to be supported by additional designer radiators for air source heat pumps, and/or underfloor heating, for instance.
Meanwhile, although they can prove an expensive venture in terms of initial outlay, there is help available for those planning to invest in air source heat pumps. From April 2022 and beyond, the government plans to grant £5,000 subsidies to homeowners in the UK and Wales to incentivise switching from gas boilers to air source heat pumps.
