Air Source Heat Pumps

What is an Air Source Heat Pump?

An air source heat pump utilises heat in the air converting this energy into an economically viable renewable heating and ventilation system. The costs are minimal as the systems utilises a free energy source from the air and the output heat energy is up to 4 times the electrical input power.

How does it work?

An air source heat pump provides heat to your radiators and taps rather like an oil or gas boiler. The difference is that whereas oil stored in a tank will fuel an oil boiler, the fuel supply of an air source heat pump is actually the heat that exists in the outside air.

The air source heat pump will then draw this heat in, raise the temperature and transfer it to the water in the pipes that run to your hot water tanks, radiators or water filled underfloor heating.

Installation

Air source heat pumps are easy to install compared to some other renewables source as ground source heat pumps which require underground loops or bore holes. All your property needs is an exterior wall to bolt the air source heat pump unit onto.

Underfloor heating is an ideal partner to an Air Source Heat Pump system as it requires a lower water temperature (between 45–55°C (as opposed to 75°C or over for radiators) this makes for an even more efficient heating system. Air Source Heat Pumps are ideally suited to retro fitting (to an existing house) in addition to new builds.
