How Do Air Source Heat Pumps Work?

Air source heat pumps capture heat from outside air, even in cold weather. They work much like a refrigerator in reverse - an outdoor unit collects heat from the air and a compressor concentrates this heat to warm your home and hot water. The system distributes warmth through your existing radiators, underfloor heating, or air convectors.

For every unit of electricity used, heat pumps typically generate three units of heat energy, making them more efficient than traditional gas or oil boilers.

The benefits of air source heat pumps

Reduced Energy Costs

Cut your heating bills by up to 60% compared to traditional systems. For every 1kW of electricity used, heat pumps generate 3-4kW of heat energy, making them significantly more efficient than conventional heating systems. Take advantage of £7,500 in government funding through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to support your installation.

Environmental Impact

Reduce your home's carbon footprint by 2.5-3 tonnes of CO2 annually - equivalent to taking a car off the road for a year. Heat pumps use renewable heat from the air, eliminating the need for fossil fuels and helping meet the UK's net-zero targets. Future-proof your property against evolving environmental regulations.

Reliable Performance

Enjoy 20-25 years of efficient operation with just one annual maintenance check required. Modern systems perform effectively even in temperatures as low as -15°C. This lifespan significantly exceeds the 10-15 years typical of traditional boilers, offering better long-term value.

What are air source heat pumps compatible with?

Underfloor Heating Systems

Our underfloor heating systems are specifically designed to work at the lower temperatures (35-45°C) that make heat pumps most efficient. We offer both wet and dry system installations, providing flexibility for different property types and construction methods.

Advanced multi-zone temperature control ensures precise heating management throughout your property, delivering even heat distribution across all living spaces. Whether for retrofit projects or new builds, our systems are compatible with both screed and suspended floor constructions.

Smart Control Systems

Our intelligent control systems incorporate advanced weather compensation technology that automatically adjusts your heating system based on external conditions. Through our intuitive smartphone app, you can monitor and manage your system remotely, with full control over individual room temperatures.

The system provides comprehensive energy usage monitoring and reporting, allowing you to optimise your heating efficiency. Full integration with home automation systems ensures your heat pump works seamlessly with other smart home technologies.

Hot Water Integration

We install high-efficiency hot water cylinders ranging from 200 to 500 litres, designed specifically for heat pump systems. These cylinders feature dual coil options for solar thermal integration, providing additional renewable energy capabilities.

Advanced temperature stratification technology and priority domestic hot water control ensure efficient operation, while built-in Legionella protection programs maintain water safety. Systems include optional immersion heater backup for complete peace of mind.

Air Source Heat Pumps FAQ

How does an air source heat pump work?

Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) function by employing a refrigerant fluid to collect heat from the outside air, even in extremely cold weather. After being squeezed to raise its temperature, this fluid is inserted into the heating system of your house. The heat is then dispersed throughout the structure using air vents, underfloor heating, and radiators.

Are air source heat pumps suitable for all homes?

Most homes can install air source heat pumps, but there are a few things to keep in mind. The majority of ASHP benefits often go to homes with underfloor heating and adequate insulation. In addition, sufficient outdoor space is required for the unit's installation, and if your house is listed or in a conservation area, planning approval is also required.

What maintenance is required for an air source heat pump?

When it comes to maintenance, ASHPs need less care than traditional heating systems. To guarantee optimal operation, it is advised to execute yearly servicing by a skilled expert and to conduct routine inspections of the filters, fans, and refrigerant levels.

We install and service air source heat pumps in Liverpool, St Helens, Warrington and the surrounding areas. 

Can air source heat pumps provide both heating and cooling?

Indeed, several versions of air source heat pumps have reversible features that enable them to work as air conditioners during the warmer months by taking heat from within your house and transferring it outside.

What is the typical lifespan of an air source heat pump?

Air source heat pumps have a more than 20-year lifespan with regular maintenance. The unit's lifespan can be increased with routine maintenance and fast repairs, guaranteeing dependable operation for the duration of its use.

Are air source heat pumps noisy?

The sound levels of modern ASHPs are similar to those of refrigerators, and they are made to run silently. A competent professional's proper installation can further reduce any noise issues.

Will an air source heat pump work in cold weather?

Yes, even in cold weather, air source heat pumps are made to function effectively. Even at very low temperatures, their effectiveness may somewhat decline, but they are still capable of producing heat.
