How Air Source Heat Pumps Work

Need a more environmentally-friendly source of heat?

Air source heat pumps are the type of heat pump most commonly installed in the UK. 

Heat pumps extract energy from either the air, ground, or water, which means they rely on geothermal rather than solar energy. Regarding air source heat pumps, they work by extracting heat from the air. These pumps are able to fulfil all the heat and hot water demands of a property. 

A new study has even found that they provide the most efficient heating in cold climates all over the world. 

One of the biggest advantages of this technology is how much money it can save in the long run. However, you will need a heat pump that reflects the size of your property. You will also need to have the right amount of space outside; the heat pump will need space around it for the air to circulate effectively. 

What is needed to install this type of heat pump?

In order to introduce an air source heat pump, you’ll need an external fan unit outside your home. Thanks to having extensive design expertise, we can work with you to introduce this technology to your site.
