HEAT PUMPS
An air source heat pump takes heat from the air and boosts it to a higher temperature using a compressor. It then transfers the heat to the heating system in your home. An air source heat pump works a bit like refrigerators in reverse.
The main benefits of installing an air source heat pump are:
- An air source heat pump absorbs heat from the outside air into a liquid refrigerant at a low temperature.
- Using electricity, the pump compresses the liquid to increase its temperature. It then condenses back into a liquid to release its stored heat.
- Heat is sent to your radiators or underfloor heating. The remainder can be stored in your hot water tank.
- You can use your stored hot water for showers, baths, and taps.
- Air source heat pumps work even if the temperature is well below zero.
The pump uses electricity to run, but it uses less electrical energy than the heat it produces. This makes them an energy-efficient way to warm your home.
