Heating and cooling
Our air-to-air and air-to-water heat pumps deliver outstanding heating and cooling, so your home always feels just right
6 reasons to choose a heat pump
- Property value
- Energy savings
- Government incentives
- Future regulations
- Environmental impact
- Smart energy use
A heat pump can boost your home's value
Buyers and renters are looking for energy-efficient homes and energy labels matter. A heat pump can improve your EPC rating, increase comfort, and raise your home’s sale or rental price.
Save money on your energy bills
Heat pumps use energy more efficiently than traditional systems. Depending on your current setup and how you use heating and hot water, switching can lead to noticeable savings on your utility bill.
Get financial support to make the switch
Many European governments offer grants and subsidies to make heat pumps more affordable. These incentives lower the upfront investment, but they won’t last forever. Don’t miss your chance to save.
Fossil fuel heating is on its way out
Across Europe, governments are phasing out fossil fuel heating to meet climate goals. Heat pumps are a future-proof alternative that align with new regulations and help make homes zero-carbon ready.
Heat pumps help cut your carbon footprint
Heating accounts for a large share of Europe’s residential emissions. Heat pumps offer a low-carbon alternative that’s 2–24 times less carbon intensive than gas boilers during use. With cleaner electricity grids, their impact will only decrease further in the future.
Use your energy more wisely
Heat pumps work great with solar panels, letting your home use more of its own clean energy. This helps lower gas dependence, reduce grid demand, and moves you closer to a more efficient, future-ready home.

A heat pump is an efficient low-carbon technology and delivers more energy than it consumes. It uses renewable energy sources such as air, water and geothermal energy to provide heating, cooling and hot water for your home. Indoors, this energy is then released through emitters such as radiators, underfloor heating, heat pump convectors and your hot water system.
Heat pumps convert energy from the outside to the preferred temperature for your home. Initially, a refrigerant in the outdoor heat pump unit absorbs heat from the air, earth or water. The refrigerant enters a compressor, where it is pressurised. Because of the high pressure, the refrigerant becomes hot and, in turn, produces hot water. The hot water can be stored in a tank until it is needed or is circulated via emitters in the different rooms through underfloor heating, radiators or heat pump convectors. When combined with heat pump convectors or underfloor heating, heat pumps can act like air conditioners and also be used for cooling. The cycle is simply reversed, with the indoor units absorbing the heat and the outdoor unit releasing it.
A heat pump typically lasts between 15 and 20 years, although this is determined by a number of factors, for instance, maintenance. While heat pumps are a low-maintenance solution, their lifespan will be maximised with an annual check-up by your installer or service partner.
Yes, they can, but this depends on the type of emitters you have.
The ideal emitter for cooling is a heat pump convector (also known as a fan coil unit), which cleverly combines heating and cooling in one system.
A heat pump is ideal for homes of all shapes and sizes and installing a heat pump to warm and cool your home is a smart choice whether it's for a newly built home or a property renovation.
Advantages of a heat pump
Why is investing in a heat pump a good idea?
Heat pumps are a cost-effective system, with a low environmental impact, for heating your home using renewable energy.
Heat pumps extract free energy from the air, water or earth. While they use electricity, as the amount of heat energy produced is markedly higher than the energy consumed, your energy bills will drop.
Heat pumps are also a much safer option than conventional heating systems. They can minimise the chance of accidents because they run on renewable energy and partly on electricity, so there is no fossil fuel involved and no risk of gas leaking or igniting accidentally.
Thanks to high-quality materials and sophisticated engineering, Daikin heat pumps have a long lifespan. If properly maintained, your heat pump will last up to 20 years.
Are heat pumps energy efficient?
The electricity consumption of a heat pump is based on what's called the seasonal coefficient of performance (CoP), which allows for variation in performance across a year. Usually, a pump has to work harder in the winter than in the summer.
The CoP is calculated by measuring the energy put in (electricity) and the energy (heat) put out. A heat pump typically produces 4 kWh of heat from 1 kWh of electrical energy, which can be cheaper than your gas bills over a year. Furthermore, there are ways you can boost efficiency further.
Insulation affects the efficiency of any heating system, so, by ensuring your walls, windows and loft cavities and windows are well insulated, you can lessen a heat pump's workload, and therefore its consumption.
To really maximise efficiency and significantly reduce electricity use, consider combining a heat pump with other systems such as underfloor heating and solar panels.
