Air Source Heat Pumps
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP’s) offer an energy efficient solution to provide heating and hot water to your domestic or commercial building.
Using the low temperature air around them to start a vapor-compression refrigeration process they are typically able to generate four to five times the amount of thermal output energy (heat), compared to the amount of electrical input energy required to run them.
This is considerably more efficient than using a fossil fuel appliance such as a gas, oil or LPG boiler which at best will generate less thermal output energy than the energy required for the combustion process to burn the gas, oil or LPG to turn it into heat. ASHP’s therefore significantly reduce the amount of carbon emissions to generate heat.
The heat generated from air ASHP’s is distributed throughout the building through conventional methods such as underfloor heating, radiators and fan convectors. The heat generated can also be used to provide hot water through conventional hot water cylinders.
