What Is an Air Source Heat Pump?

An air source heat pump is an energy-efficient system that extracts heat from the outside air to heat your home and hot water. This makes it a more sustainable alternative to traditional gas or oil heating.

How air source heat pumps work

These systems extract heat from the outside air and move it indoors through a highly efficient process. They are designed to operate efficiently all year round, including during colder weather.

Heating and hot water explained

Heat is delivered throughout your home via radiators, underfloor heating, or stored in a hot water cylinder. You can expect a reliable and consistent level of comfort across your property.

Efficient heating and cooling

Air source heat pumps are highly efficient, producing more energy than they consume. Depending on the system, cooling may also be available to help regulate indoor comfort in warmer weather.

Types of Air Source Heat Pumps

There are several types of air source heat pumps available, each suited to different property requirements. These include air to water systems, air to air units, and hybrid solutions.

Air to water heat pumps

Air to water systems deliver heat to your home through water-based systems such as radiators and underfloor heating. They are well suited to homes aiming to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.

Air to air heat pumps

Air to air systems work by circulating warm air throughout the property. In addition to heating, they can offer cooling, making them a versatile solution.

Hybrid air to water systems

A hybrid air to water system works alongside a boiler to deliver efficient and reliable heating. They can switch between energy sources depending on demand and efficiency, helping to optimise performance.

Monobloc vs split systems

There are two main configurations: monobloc systems and split systems, each with different installation requirements. Monobloc units contain all components in one outdoor unit, while split systems separate indoor and outdoor elements.

Living With an Air Source Heat Pump

01. Are heat pumps noisy?

Modern air source heat pumps run at low noise levels, making them ideal for home use. You may notice a low, consistent sound from the external unit, but it is not disruptive.

02. Do you still need a boiler?

In most cases, an air source heat pump can fully replace a traditional boiler. In certain situations, a boiler may still be used to support heating when demand is higher.

Day to day heating and hot water use

Air source heat pumps are designed to run steadily throughout the day, maintaining a consistent and comfortable indoor temperature. By running consistently, they deliver more efficient performance and improved comfort levels.

Hot water is produced and stored for use when required, providing a reliable supply. With the right setup, you can expect a consistent supply to meet daily household demand.

Heat Pump Guarantees and Maintenance

Air source heat pumps are designed for long-term reliability, with warranties and maintenance helping to protect your investment. Ongoing servicing helps maintain efficiency and reduce the risk of issues.

Manufacturer warranties

Manufacturers typically provide warranties to protect essential parts of the system. The length and level of cover can vary depending on the brand and system installed.

Expected system lifespan

These systems have a long lifespan when installed and maintained correctly. It is common for systems to operate efficiently for 15 to 20 years or longer.

Ongoing maintenance requirements

Routine maintenance is recommended to keep the system running smoothly. This may include inspections, cleaning components, and checking system pressure.
