Air Source Heat Pumps

Air source heat pumps are an effective way of reducing your carbon emissions. The air that surrounds us all is a valuable source of heat, the air source heat pump extracts thermal energy from the air and boosts it to a higher, more useful temperature for use inside your home. The Smaller Units say 3Kw to 5Kw can only be used for your hot water, however, the larger units of 12 Kw and above can also be used for hot water and underfloor heating.

The efficiency of air source heat pump systems is measured by a coefficient of performance (CoP) - the amount of heat they produce compared to the amount of electricity needed to run them.
The Air Source Heat Pump runs on electricity so there is no need for the use of gas or solid fuel so reducing fuel bills. They are also compact and require no storage space for fuel.
