Air Source Heat Pumps

What is an Air Source Heat Pump?

An Air Source Heat Pump absorbs heat from the outside air and releases it inside a building.

How do Air Source Heat Pumps work?

These heat pumps transfer energy by taking heat from one place (like the chilly outside air) and moving it to another (like the inside of your cozy home). It's similar to how a refrigerator keeps your food cold, but in reverse.

How efficient are these heat pumps?

Imagine using just 1 unit of electricity and getting 4 units of warmth in return. That's how efficient they can be! They work best when the temperature of the water they heat is between 30 and 40°C.

Are there different types of Air Source Heat Pumps?

Yes, there are two main kinds. One type heats water, which can then warm up your entire house through radiators or underfloor heating. The other type blows warm (or cool) air directly into rooms.

What makes up an Air Source Heat Pump?

These heat pumps have a part outside that takes in heat from the air and a part inside that gives out that warmth. Think of them as having a team of tiny workers passing buckets of warmth from the outside to the inside.

Are these heat pumps good for the environment?

Absolutely! They don't release any gases that harm our planet. They do use a bit of electricity, but even that can come from green sources.

Can they work when it's freezing outside?

Yes, they can! Some modern heat pumps can still gather heat even when it's as cold as −30 °C outside.

How are Air Source Heat Pumps different from air conditioning units?

While both can make a room cooler, heat pumps can also make it warmer. Some can even give you hot water for your bath or shower.

How do we measure their efficiency?

We use something called the coefficient of performance. If it's 4, the heat pump gives 4 times more warmth than the electricity it uses.

Anything to think about when getting one?

Yes, think about where to place it. They can be a bit noisy, so you don't want it right outside your bedroom window. Also, if it's too exposed to wind, it might not work as efficiently.

What's inside these heat pumps that make them work?

They use special liquids called refrigerants to move the heat around. In the past, these refrigerants weren't so eco-friendly, but now they're much better for the environment.

Do they need a lot of care and attention?

Like all things, a little love goes a long way. Checking them now and then ensures they work well. Look out for things like blockages or leaks, and they'll keep your home warm for years.
