What are Air-Source Heat Pumps?
Air-Source Heat Pumps extract heat from the air outside, raise this heat to a higher temperature and then help distribute this heat around the home. For every kilowatt of energy needed to run the heat pump, 3 to 5 kilowatts of energy is produced for the heating and hot water system. Up to three quarters of this generated heat is from a renewable energy source, the air around us, and therefore absolutely free of charge! Heat pumps are highly flexible and energy-efficient with a minimal environmental impact – most exceed the CO2 reduction targets required by current building regulations. They also provide significant added value by improving your home’s overall energy performance, contributing favourably to your HIPs / Energy Performance Certificate and improving your star rating as a sustainable home.
