Air Source Heat Pumps Installed

Renewable heating is the way forward. If you’re considering an alternative method to provide heating and hot water to your home, while reducing your heating and fuel costs, then an air source heat pump system is worth looking at. An air source heat pump is a more sustainable heating option when compared to oil or gas heating.

Households looking for greener alternatives are installing air source heat pumps across London. The electricity used by the heat pump is efficiently utilised, therefore the systems create a more sustainable future while also lower heating costs.

What is an Air Source Heat Pump?

Air source heat pumps work by absorbing natural warmth from the outside air via liquid refrigerant. The refrigerant gas is compressed, transferred and used to heat your home and water – it’s a great low-carbon way of heating your home.

Even in the UK, heat can still be extracted from our lower air temperatures. An air-source pump is highly efficient even though it needs electricity to run.  It typically uses less electrical energy than the heat it produces, making it a greener equivalent to traditional boiler heating systems.

What To Consider With ASHPs

  • Insulation is key with ASHPs. Your home must be well insulated to maintain the temperature within the building.
  • The Coefficient of Performance (CoP) varies between different air source heat pumps. The higher the CoP the more efficient the air source heat pump will be.
  • Air source heat pumps are not silent. They produce a noise similar to that of an air conditioning system.
  • Air source heat pumps usually don’t require planning permission as they’re typically listed under permitted developments. However, in order for this to be the case, certain criteria has to be met, mainly in relation to the neighbouring properties. It’s always prudent to check with your installer and planning authority before you begin any installation.
