Air source heat pump in Warwickshire

Air source heat pumps are a renewable energy source that extracts heat from the air outside your building in order to generate heating inside. They function by transferring warmth from the air over a refrigerant fluid, which is then passed through a compressor which heats it even more, accompanied by a condensor which releases the heat into the building.

Air source heat pumps come in two types. They can be either air to air heat pumps which absorb heat from the outside air and pass it to your house via a fan system or air vent underfloor heating. The other alternative is air to water heat pumps, which absorb heat and use it to heat water, which can be used to produce hot water heating through central heating and radiators.

Air source heat pumps use electricity for power, but they are very efficient and make use of naturally occuring renewable heat in the air. They can also be coupled with renewable electricity generation to further lower their carbon impact. Setting up an air source heat pump will permit you to take advantage of the Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive, which will give you money for the heat that you produce. This means that the air source heat pump systems will save you money and pay for themselves as time passes.
