Air Source Heat Pumps
What is an air source heat pump?
The benefits of an air source heat pump
- Low Carbon Footprint.
- Save Money on Energy Bills.
- Eligible for RHI (which saves you money)
- Can Be Used for Heating and Cooling.
- Can be Used for Space Heating and Domestic Hot Water.
- Can Work Even in Lower Temperatures.
- High Seasonal Coefficient of Performance.
There are two types of air-source heat pump systems:
Air to Water
This method is closer to your traditional boiler in that it provides hot water which can be pumped through underfloor heating pipes to heat the property, (if retro-fitting, large radiators can be used instead) and natural hot water to your taps. This is the ideal system for new builds as they can be included in the building specification.
Benefits of Air to Water Heat Pumps
- Lowers fuel bills in comparison to conventional heating methods
- Income from the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) Scheme
- Lower carbon footprint
- No piped gas or oil tank required
- Heats your property and your water
- Low maintenance
Air to Air
This creates warm air that is vented throughout your property. Ideal for heating but this method cannot provide hot water. The additional benefit of this method is the system can operate in reverse and like an air conditioning unit, provide cool air in the summer months. Note: The heat pump still requires an electricity supply to pump the water.
