Air Source

Even cold air is full of energy and air source heat pumps use this freely available heat in the ambient air to provide efficient heating and hot water at air temperatures as low as -25 degrees centigrade.

Extracting Heat From The Air

An air source heat pump extracts warmth from the abundantly available air. Utilising an electric powered pump, this warmth is compressed to generate higher temperatures, which can then be used to either heat hot water, or provide heating for your building. The heat pump theory is the opposite of your fridge or freezer - a fridge extracts heat, keeping the fridge interior cold. A heat pump extracts heat from the air (or ground) and then transfers that heat energy into your building.

You may ask how a heat pump works in winter? An air source heat pump is able to produce heat even in air temperatures as low as -25 degrees centigrade. So with the average winter temperature in the UK being 5 degrees centigrade, seasons efficiency and performance similar to that of a ground source heat pump is achievable. The advantage of an air source heat pump is there are no need for large areas of land to be excavated, reducing the installation costs and shortening the pay back period.

An air source heat pump is an excellent way of efficiently heating a swimming pool. When the pool is being used during the summer the heat is readily available in the air. An air source heat pump can also be integrated with solar panels for swimming pool applications, further improving efficiency.
