Choosing to ditch your old boiler for an Aira Heat Pump is a big step. One that can lower both your carbon emissions and your energy bills. But what actually happens when you take the leap and say “yes” to Aira? Let’s walk through it.

If you're a homeowner looking to upgrade their heating by ditching their boiler for a heat pump, the good news is you might be eligible for more financial help beyond the government grant. Some of the UK’s biggest banks now offer cashback and green finance to help cover the cost of a heat pump installation.

Like Aira, Octopus Energy manufactures and installs its own heat pump: the Cosy. But that’s where the similarities end and the real choice begins. We break down the key differences between Aira and Octopus, and compare the Aira Heat Pump with the Octopus Cosy to see how they stack up.

Imagine a home that’s warm, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly. For many homeowners, combining heat pumps with solar panels offers a compelling way to achieve this vision. But you may be left wondering if solar panels are a necessary part of a heat pump system.
