Air source heat pumps use electricity to extract heat from outside air and transfer it indoors for heating and hot water. They are highly efficient, often reaching 300% efficiency, meaning they produce three times the heat energy for every unit of electricity used. This makes them a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable heating solution, reducing fossil fuel dependence and carbon emissions.

Yes. They are the perfect partner for underfloor heating due to operating at much lower flow temperatures than radiators.
No! They are less noisy than the flue of a gas boiler. Also, the Daikin Altherma 3 HT is quiet mark certified as it operates at whisper quiet levels for maximum acoustic comfort.
Air source heat pumps are extremely efficient it's one of the main reasons homeowners choose to have one installed. They require electricity to operate but for every 1kW of electricity used they will produce 3-4 kwh of usable heat energy, that's efficiency of 300%-400% compared to just 90% for a new gas boiler.
Yes you can - using the Daikin Altherma 3 High Temperature which has a compact design and requires minimal installation space and integrates seamlessly with your existing piping and radiators. This way you can enjoy the energy efficiency of a heat pump without having to replace your entire system. They are ideal for renovations and replacing old boilers.
Yes, heat pumps work effectively all year round. Did you know Daikin Altherma air source heat pumps can operate in temperatures as cold as -25°C.
In most cases, you do not need planning permission but we always say it's best to check. If you have a listed property or you are in a conservation area or area of outstanding natural beauty then permission will be required.
Air source heat pumps are low maintenance systems that require servicing and maintenance by a qualified technician only once a year. They also have a long lifespan and can work efficiently for up to 25 years, provided they're well maintained and serviced annually. That means a Daikin air source heat pump can last twice as long as a boiler which, on average, has a life expectancy between 10 and 15 years.
MCS stands for Microgeneration Certification Scheme which is often described as the renewables equivalent of Gas Safe. If you want to benefit from the government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme you will need your heat pump system to be fully MCS compliant.
Have Underfloor Heating installed at the same time as your new Heat Pump and pay absolutely no VAT. That's an extra 20% saving.
With flexible options and monthly payment schedules, you can fund your new smart heating system at an affordable sum in your own pace.

Swift Heating Solutions are your local, MCS Certified air source heat pump specialists. We design, supply and install Daikin heat pumps across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and throughout Dorset — helping homeowners switch from gas boilers to a cleaner, more efficient heating system.
With the Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) offering up to £7,500 off the cost of installation, there has never been a more affordable time to make the switch. We handle all the paperwork and grant applications on your behalf.
An air source heat pump (ASHP) works by extracting heat energy from the outside air — even in temperatures as low as -25°C — and using it to heat your home and hot water. For every unit of electricity it uses, a modern heat pump can produce up to 4 units of heat, making it up to 400% more efficient than a gas boiler.
The UK Government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides a £7,500 grant to homeowners in England and Wales who replace their gas or oil boiler with a heat pump. Swift handles the entire application for you, so you simply receive the saving directly off your installation cost. You don’t need to apply yourself or wait for a rebate — the discount is applied upfront.
Heat pumps have a longer lifespan than gas boilers (up to 25 years vs 10–15 years), produce zero direct carbon emissions, and are significantly more efficient. As the UK electricity grid becomes greener, the environmental benefits will continue to grow. For homes with good insulation — or those combining a heat pump with underfloor heating — running costs can be lower than gas in many circumstances.
