Curious about green energy solutions?
An air source heat pump could be the perfect system to help you reduce your home's carbon footprint.
Is an air source heat pump right for my home?
An air source heat pump is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. However, it is not suitable for every home. Air source heat pumps work by drawing heat from the air outside which is then directed to a hot water cylinder and radiators or underfloor heating. Heat pumps work best in new builds and homes that have been fully insulated. Not quite ready for a heat pump? Explore our range of hydrogen ready boilers.
How The Air Source Heat Pump Works
An air source heat pump extracts heat from the outside air and transfers it indoors for heating. It uses a refrigeration cycle, involving a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator, to absorb and release heat. In heating mode, the refrigerant evaporates in the outdoor unit, absorbing heat from the air. The compressor increases the temperature, and the hot refrigerant releases heat in the indoor unit. The process is reversible for cooling, making air source heat pumps energy-efficient for both heating and cooling purposes.
The Benefits
The benefits of installing an air source heat pump are extensive, some of these benefits include:
- Energy Efficiency: Lower energy consumption compared to traditional heating systems.
- Cost Savings: Reduced energy bills due to efficient heat transfer from the air.
- Dual Functionality: Provide both heating and cooling, ensuring year-round comfort.
- Versatility: Suitable for various applications, including residential and commercial settings.
- Environmental Impact: Contribute to sustainability by reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
- Adaptability: Well-suited for retrofitting existing buildings without major structural changes.
- Space Efficiency: Ideal for locations with limited space, as they don’t require extensive ground installations.
Installation
After a thorough site assessment to determine suitability, outdoor units are strategically placed, considering airflow and clear space.
The installation includes mounting the outdoor unit on a stable surface, connecting refrigerant and electrical lines, and securing the indoor unit, often placed near existing heating infrastructure.
