Air Source Heat Pumps

Air Source Heat Pumps
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) are suitable for all types of well insulated property. If you are renovating or considering a new build, we especially recommend that you consider an ASHP.

Key benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps
  • The running costs of heat pumps are significantly lower than conventional heating systems - up to 70% of heat can be generated for free using natural resources
  • They can reduce your carbon emissions by 30-50%
  • Low running and maintenance costs
  • Low noise
  • Easy to install - no ground work is required, such as trenches and boreholes
  • They can be connected to underfloor heating, radiators or fan coils
  • They can be connected with a solar thermal system, which can provide 60% of your hot water needs

The technology

An ASHP simply moves heat. It extracts latent heat from the outside air and transfers it to the central heating and hot water system. Air passes through a heat exchanger, which contains refrigerant; the refrigerant absorbs the latent heat from the outside air and evaporates. This vapour is concentrated and compressed increasing its temperature and pressure. This hot vapour passes through another heat exchanger where the heat is rejected. This rejected heat circulates through the heating and hot water system for use in the home.

The heat pumps we supply are manufactured by Daikin. Please visit their web site or download their brochure for further and technical information.
