There are several different kinds of heat pump, which all work in a similar way by transferring heat from one area to another. Our experienced Home Services Team can supply and install Air-source heat pumps.
How does an air-source heat pump work?
An air-source heat pump draws heat from the air outside your house and delivers it to your central heating or hot water system. They work in a similar way to a fridge, or an air conditioning unit in reverse.
What are the benefits?
- Air-source heat pumps can deliver up to four times more energy than the power needed to run it in the first place. This means you get more out of what you put into it.
- Heat pumps don’t burn any fuel and can often be used with existing radiators or new fan coil radiators but they work best when they’re partnered with under-floor heating.
