What is an air source heat pump?

Air Source Heat Pumps absorb heat from the outside air to heat your home and hot water. They are a greener, cleaner alternative to gas and oil, and can extract heat from air temperatures as low as -15°C!

Self-builders everywhere are falling in love with Air Source Heat Pumps. Your dream home deserves a heating system that fits your lifestyle. Studies have shown that Air Source Heat Pump and underfloor heating work excellently together in order to achieve cost-effective, environmentally-friendly and cosy warmth day after day.

How do they produce heat?

An Air Source Heat Pump uses energy absorbed from the air and transfers it to the water based heating system via a vapour/compression cycle.

The process uses a refrigerant gas R32/R290 which has a low boiling point. When the R32/R290 gas is exposed to external air it heats up and compresses causing the temperature to increase. It then changes from a gas to a liquid before passing through a heat exchanger transferring heat to the heating system. As the heat is transferred to the heat exchanger the liquid changes back to a gas and the cycle is repeated.
