What is a Heat Pump?
The two main types of air source heat pumps are air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps. Air-to-air heat pumps use a blower to circulate warm air around your home or workplace, and cool the air in the summer much like an air conditioner.
Air-to-water heat pumps use your existing wet central heating system and also provide domestic hot water. Energy efficient air-to-air and ASHP heat pumps are ideal heat pumps for homes which are not connected to the mains gas grid as they are remarkably cheaper than using oil, LPG, natural gas or traditional electricity to heat your home, and are much quicker to install than ground source heat pumps.
Our specialist team offer both domestic heat pumps and commercial heat pumps, and will gladly advise you on heat pump costs with free quotes on a range of top-grade brands such as Nuaire, Toshiba, Vent-Axia, Mitsubishi and Daikin heat pumps.
How do Air Source Heat Pumps work?
While many boilers use gas to rapidly and expensively heat the water in your wet central heating system, heat pumps are designed to emit a steady ambient temperature. Air source heating uses a fan to absorb heat from the outside air at low temperature into a fluid.
A heat pump compressor then increases the temperature of the fluid and transfers the higher temperature into the heating system of the house or company building. Once the heat has been used, the cooler fluid circulates back to the unit outside to start the cycle again, providing consistent and efficient indoor heating for your home.

Will installing a low energy heat pump help save money on heating bills?
The short answer is yes. While the compressor and pumps need electricity to work, they use less than the quantity of heat they move from outside to inside. The amount of heat energy moved versus the amount of electrical energy used depends on the source temperature and the output temperature, so it varies constantly throughout the year as outside temperatures change, but the benefits certainly make it clear why homeowners and businesses choose to have heat pump heating.
