Air Source Heat Pump Installation, Repairs & Servicing
An air-source heat pump (ASHP), sometimes referred to as an air to water heat pump is a heating system that works by transferring heat absorbed from the outside air into the property.
This is an extremely green form of energy that is becoming increasingly popular with homeowners in the UK. Air source heat pumps are generally more efficient than gas boilers, but are not suitable for every home.
As part of the Entire Energy Solutions Group, we provide a full service for air source heat pumps including installation and repairs through our sister company, Go Green Solar.
What Is An Air Source Heat Pump?
An air source heat pump is a type of low carbon heating system that works by taking heat from the air and boosting it to a higher temperature using a compressor. To provide heat to a home, air is taken from outside the property and heated using a compressor before being transferred into the home through a heat exchanger.
Air source heat pumps look very similar to air conditioning units and sit on the exterior of the home, unlike a boiler. Air source heat pumps provide the greatest benefit to well-insulated homes. The more efficient the home is, the more effective the pump will be.
