Air Source Heat Pumps

An air source heat pump provides an efficient, environmentally-friendly heating and cooling solution for your home in any climate. This green home solution converts solar energy stored in the air into energy, providing heat for domestic purposes.

Certain air source heat pumps can also work as a cooling system in the summer months. Air source heat pumps are placed outside of a building where there is adequate space.

• Air-to-air heat pumps absorb heat from the outside air and then transfer it directly into your home via a fan system to heat a room.
• Air-to-water heat pumps absorb heat from the outside air and then transfer it via your central heating system to provide both hot water heating and radiator or underfloor heating for an indoor space.

Advantages of Air Source Heat Pumps
The most important advantages of purchasing an air source heat pump are the following:

• Heat pumps have a low carbon footprint
• Air source heat pumps can be powered by wind or solar energy instead of electricity from the grid
• An air-source heat pump can extract heat from the ambient air even at lower temperatures, down to -20°C
• You could receive payments by generating your own heat through the Renewable Heat Incentive
• ASHP systems can heat hot water for immediate or later use
• Save more on your next energy bill
• They have a long lifespan – with proper care they can be operational for up to 20 years
• It only requires a few days to install an air source heat pump
• They only need servicing by a technician once a year
• They can provide cooling in the summer and heating in the winter, depending on the model
• No fuel storage is needed
• Efficient both in winter and summer thanks to ASHP’s outstanding SCOP (seasonal coefficient of performance)
