What is an Air Source Heat Pump?
An air source heat pump, commonly referred to as an air-to-water heat pump, harnesses heat from the external air and conveys it to water, providing warmth to your living spaces via radiators or underfloor heating systems. Moreover, it is capable of heating water stored in a hot water cylinder for your taps, showers, and baths.
The heat from the air is taken in by a fluid, which is then circulated through a heat exchanger into the heat pump. At this stage, the temperature is heightened before the heat is delivered to the water.
For further details on the operation of a heat pump, including information on potential savings, system design, and control options, please consult the comprehensive guide on heat pumps available at the Energy Saving Trust website.
