What Is an Air Source Heat Pump?
Air source heat pumps are energy-efficient systems that capture heat from the outside air to supply heating and hot water. They provide a cleaner, more efficient alternative to conventional heating systems.
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
It provides heating through radiators or underfloor systems, along with hot water storage. You can expect a reliable and consistent level of comfort across your property.
Efficient heating and cooling
These systems are designed for high efficiency, delivering more heat energy than the electricity they use. Certain models can offer cooling as well as heating, giving you greater control over indoor temperatures.
Types of Air Source Heat Pumps
Air source heat pumps come in a range of system types designed to suit different homes and heating needs. These include air to water systems, air to air units, and hybrid solutions.
Air to water heat pumps
Air to water heat pumps transfer heat into a wet central heating system, supplying radiators, underfloor heating, and hot water. 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. They are often used where both heating and cooling are required within the same system.
Hybrid air to water systems
These systems integrate a heat pump with an existing boiler for a balanced approach to heating. The system automatically selects the most efficient heat source based on demand and conditions.
Monobloc vs split systems
There are two main configurations: monobloc systems and split systems, each with different installation requirements. Monobloc systems house all parts externally, whereas split systems divide components between inside and outside units.
