How an ASHP works
An air source heat pump is fitted outside and takes the warmth from the outside air and uses it to heat your home via radiators and underfloor heating. Think of it as the opposite of your fridge. They can even operate when the outside temperature is as low as -15C.
They are simple and easy to use and will keep your home at a comfortable temperature all year round.
What are the benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps?
Long Term Solution
The life expectancy of an air source heat pump is over 20 years. With very little maintenance required they are a long-term solution for heating your home.
Consistent Home Comfort
ASHP systems deliver a stable and consistent indoor temperature by providing continuous heat. Unlike traditional boilers that cycle on and off, heat pumps maintain a steady warmth, enhancing household comfort during colder months.
Reduce your Carbon Footprint
By installing an air source heat pump you will be using cleaner energy and consuming less in turn reducing your impact on the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does an air source heat pump work?
An air source heat pump (ASHP) works by absorbing heat from the outdoor air and transferring it to a refrigerant.
The refrigerant then passes through a compressor and increases in temperature. The heat is then transferred to a heat exchanger in your home's central heating system, where it is then used to warm your home and/or hot water.
The process then repeats itself continuously. Air source heat pumps are highly efficient, with some models being able to extract heat from the air even at temperatures as low as -20°C.
What are the benefits of an air source heat pump?
Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) offer many benefits, such as energy efficiency and cost savings.
They are up to four times more efficient than traditional heating systems, making them environmentally friendly and cheaper to run in the long term.
Air source heat pumps require very little maintenance and have a life expectancy of around 20-25 years, meaning they are a sound investment.
They are also versatile and can be used to heat your home and hot water, and some models can even provide cooling in the summer months.
Can I use an air source heat pump to heat my home and water?
Yes, air source heat pumps (ASHPs) can be used to heat both your home and your water supply. They do this by having two separate circuits: one for the central heating system and one for the hot water.
The heated water can then be stored in a cylinder until it is needed. Air source heat pumps are highly efficient at warming both your home and water supply making them a versatile and cost-effective solution.
Are air source heat pumps noisy?
Newer air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are typically much quieter than older models, as technological advancements have improved their design.
The level of noise is usually around 40-60 decibels, which is equivalent to typical background noise in a home. To reduce noise, the air source heat pump should be installed away from bedrooms and living areas.
Some models also have features that allow them to operate in ‘quiet mode’ or during times when the room is not occupied.
