A well-engineered heat pump system is up to four times more efficient than a gas boiler, as it harnesses 75% of the energy needed for home heating from the naturally available outdoor air.
The running costs of an air source heat pump vary based on factors such as your preferred indoor temperature, hot water usage, electricity rates, and the type of tariff you are on.
Heat Pump systems are specifically designed to operate far more efficiently than gas boilers, maximizing both CO₂ reductions and cost savings on heating. Plus, if you eliminate all gas appliances from your home after making the switch, you can say goodbye to gas bills permanently.
When running, the outdoor unit of your Aira Heat Pump produces a soft humming sound, usually ranging from 46 to 51 decibels*, depending on the unit’s size. At these levels, the noise is subtle and easily fades into the background, making it barely noticeable.
In colder conditions, the heat pump may need to operate more intensively to maintain warmth in your home and heat your water, which could result in a slight increase in noise levels.

Heat pumps are designed to perform efficiently even in extreme cold, maintaining warmth at temperatures as low as -25°C.
Need proof? Just look to Scandinavia, where heat pumps are a standard feature, thriving through harsh, sub-zero winters.
