How Does An Air Source Heat Pump Work?
Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) efficiently transfer heat from the outside air into your home to provide heating and can reverse the process to cool your home during warmer months. Here’s a simplified explanation of how they work:
Absorbing Heat: The outdoor unit contains a fan that draws outside air over a heat exchanger coil filled with refrigerant. The refrigerant, having a low boiling point, absorbs heat from the air and evaporates into a gas.
Compression: The refrigerant gas is then compressed by the compressor, increasing its temperature significantly due to the pressure increase.
Heat Transfer: The hot refrigerant gas circulates through another heat exchanger coil inside your home. As indoor air passes over this coil, the heat from the refrigerant transfers to the air inside your property.
Final Process: After releasing its heat, the refrigerant cools down and condenses back into a liquid, which is then returned to the outdoor unit’s coil to absorb more heat from the outside air.
Cooling Process: In cooling mode, the process is reversed. The indoor unit absorbs heat from the indoor air and transfers it outdoors, where the outdoor unit acts as a condenser, releasing the heat.
This process is highly efficient because it moves heat rather than generating it by burning fuel, making heat pumps a sustainable and energy-efficient heating and cooling solution for your home.

Benefits Of Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP’s)
Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) offer many fantastic benefits, making them an increasingly popular choice for efficient and sustainable home heating:
Energy Efficiency: ASHPs are highly energy-efficient, producing 3 to 4 units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed. This efficiency can significantly reduce your energy consumption and lower your monthly heating bills.
Environmental Sustainability: By harnessing ambient air from outside your home, heat pumps reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lower carbon emissions, and help combat climate change, reducing your carbon footprint.
Versatility: ASHPs provide both heating and cooling solutions, offering year-round comfort regardless of the temperature outside.
Safety: Since ASHPs don’t burn fossil fuels, they eliminate risks associated with gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, and other hazards, making them a safer option for you and your loved ones.
Increased Property Value: Installing renewable heating systems like air source heat pumps enhances your property’s appeal to potential buyers and can increase your home’s market value.
Low Maintenance: Compared to traditional heating systems, ASHPs require minimal maintenance, making them a hassle-free solution for both heating and cooling your home.
Air source heat pumps offer a combination of efficiency, environmental benefits, and financial savings, making them an excellent choice for homeowners seeking greener, more sustainable heating solutions.

Air Source Heat Pumps Frequently Asked Questions (ASHP’s FAQ’s)
Our team will work with you to determine the best option for your needs and ensure that your air source heat pump is installed safely and efficiently.
Q1: How do air source heat pumps work?
A: ASHPs extract heat from the outside air, even in cold temperatures, and use it to heat your home. They can also reverse this process in the summer to cool your home, making them a versatile option for year-round comfort.
Q2: Are ASHPs efficient in cold weather?
A: Yes, modern heat pumps are designed to be effective even in colder climates. They can extract heat from the air at temperatures as low as -15°C, making them suitable for a wide range of climates.
Q3: Can an ASHP replace my existing heating system?
A: In most cases, yes, they can serve as a complete replacement for traditional heating systems. They are particularly effective when combined with underfloor heating or specially designed radiators. An assessment of your current system will help determine the best approach.
Q4: How much could I save?
A: Savings vary based on your existing heating system, home insulation, and the ASHP model. However, due to their high efficiency, ASHPs can lead to significant reductions in energy bills.
Q5: Do I need planning permission for a heat pump installation?
A: Installations typically fall under “Permitted Development” in many areas, so planning permission isn’t usually required. However, it’s always best to check with your local authority, especially if you live in a conservation area or a listed building.
