Air Source Heat Pumps

A greener alternative

Air Source Heat Pumps are an energy efficient and economical way to heat your home. They can also be very space-saving. Modern units have high efficiencies of up to 450% - they’re also quiet. Air source heat pumps extract heat from the outside air, which is then passed through a heat exchanger which boils the refrigerant gas. This also means they can generate heat even when the air temperature is as cool as – 15°C.
Air is drawn through the heat exchanger by the fan, the air heats the refrigerant, which in turn then heats the water for heating and hot water.
There are two main types of heat pump: air-to-water and air-to-air. Choosing an air-to-water or an air-to-air system will determine the type of heat distribution system you need.
Other benefits include minimal maintenance, lower home carbon emissions, lower fuel bills. They’re also generally easier and quicker to install than ground source heat pumps. And at the moment, there are government grants available to cover a large part of the cost - to see if you are eligible for this, click here
