Air Source Heat Pump

An air source heat pump works like an air conditioning unit but in reverse. It draws in air from the outside and extracts heat from it to provide heating and hot water for your home.

Heat can be taken from the outside air even during the colder months. This air is used to heat a refrigerant liquid contained in pipes inside the air source heat pump. A compressor (which is like a bicycle pump), within the air source heat pump increases the temperature of the refrigerant to boiling point. This turns the liquid to gas which is then used to heat your home or hot water.

A typical air source heat pump has an efficiency rating of around 300%. That's up to 5x higher than a traditional gas boiler and is therefore better for the planet too. It uses electricity which means your home won’t need a gas boiler and there will be no direct use of fossil fuels in your heating and hot water system.

Each home is individual and will have specific technology and materials, please speak to our Sales Executive for further information.
