Air source heat pumps
Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are the easiest heat pump to fit, either in a retro-fit or new-build situation, since they require no groundworks or building work to install. The only space required is beside an outside wall, making them ideal for well-insulated houses and apartments.
Air source heat pumps work by converting the energy of the outside air into heat, creating a comfortable temperature inside the house as well as supplying energy for the hot water system.
An ASHP will cover the heating requirements of a well-insulated property in all but the most extreme conditions. When used in combination with an immersion heater, both heating and hot water needs will be met.
Air source heat pump benefits
- An ASHP working efficiently can reduce energy consumption for heating by up to 50% when compared to conventional heating systems
- A good alternative for properties with no access to gas
- Low carbon emissions
- Lower heating bills with a high-efficiency system
- Life expectancy of over 25 years
- No expensive ground works
