High-Efficiency Air Source Heat Pumps

Air source heat pumps operate by using a liquid refrigerant to absorb heat from the outside before pressurising it to amplify the heat and then condensing it back into a liquid, at which point it releases its heat into your home. This heat can then be transferred to your central heating system and used to warm water stored in your hot water tank.

Air source heat pumps have several advantages that make them a preferred method of home heating for many:

• Efficiency – In terms of both cost and energy usage, air source heat pumps are much more efficient than gas or oil boilers and produce more energy than they consume.
• CO2 – They produce much lower carbon emissions than other central heating methods, especially when powered by renewable electricity.
• Ease of installation – Air source heat pump installation is much simpler than other forms of heat pump installation.

Yes, they do. Modern air source heat pumps, although not well suited to regions with exceptionally cold winters, are perfectly capable of tackling winter temperatures in the UK.

No. In fact, they produce more energy than they consume thanks to extremely high efficiency.
