WHat is A Air source Heat Pump?

An air source heat pump (ASHP) is an energy-efficient system that extracts heat from the air outside your property to provide heating, hot water, and even cooling if needed. It works by transferring thermal energy from the air—even in cold temperatures—to your home or business, offering a reliable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional heating systems.

How Does It Work?

Heat Absorption: The system captures heat from the air using an outdoor unit containing a refrigerant.

  1. Compression: The refrigerant is compressed, raising its temperature.

  2. Heat Transfer: This heat is then transferred to your home's heating system, such as radiators, underfloor heating, or water tanks.

  3. Continuous Cycle: The cycle repeats, ensuring a constant supply of heat.

Advantages of Air SOurce Heat pump

Energy Efficiency: ASHPs can provide up to three times more energy than they consume, significantly reducing energy bills.

  • Year-Round Operation: They work effectively in temperatures as low as -20°C, making them ideal for the UK climate.

  • Eco-Friendly: By using renewable energy from the air, they help lower carbon emissions, supporting a greener future.

  • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of properties, ASHPs can be used for heating, cooling, and hot water production.

  • Ease of Installation: ASHPs are relatively simple to install compared to other heat pump systems, requiring only an outdoor unit and connection to your home’s heating system.

Key Features:

  • Compatible with existing heating systems in many cases.

  • Lower maintenance requirements compared to traditional boilers.

  • Eligible for government incentives such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (in the UK), which helps reduce upfront costs.
