How Do Heat Pump Systems Work?
Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) efficiently heat and cool your home by transferring heat from the outside air. Here’s a quick overview of how they work:
Heat Absorption: The outdoor unit pulls in outside air over a heat exchanger coil filled with refrigerant, which absorbs heat and turns into a gas.
Compression: The refrigerant gas is compressed, significantly increasing its temperature.
Heat Transfer: The hot refrigerant gas moves through another heat exchanger coil inside your home. As indoor air passes over this coil, it picks up heat from the refrigerant, warming your home.
Cycle Completion: After releasing its heat, the refrigerant cools down, turning back into a liquid. It returns to the outdoor unit to absorb more heat.
Cooling Mode: In warmer months, the process reverses. The indoor unit absorbs heat from your home and transfers it outside, where the outdoor unit releases the heat.
This method is highly efficient because it moves heat instead of creating it by burning fuel, making ASHPs a sustainable and energy-efficient solution for heating and cooling your home.

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.

Q2: How do air source heat pumps work?
A: ASHPs extract heat from the outside air and use it to warm your home, even in cold weather. They can also reverse the process to cool your home in the summer, providing year-round comfort.
Q3: Are heat pumps effective in cold climates?
A: Absolutely. Modern ASHPs are designed to function efficiently even at temperatures as low as -15°C, making them suitable for a variety of climates.
Q4: Do you need planning permission to install a heat pump?
A: In many cases, heat pump installations are considered “Permitted Development,” so planning permission isn’t usually required. However, it’s always best to check with your local authority, especially if your home is in a conservation area or is a listed building.
Q5: How much can I save with an ASHP?
