What is an Air Source Heat Pump?

Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) extract heat from the air and boosts it to a higher temperature using a compressor. The system then transfers the heat to the heating system in your home. They work a bit like refrigerators in reverse.

An air source heat pump system is compatible with both radiators and underfloor heating systems. If you’re interested in installing an air source heat pump, there’s a few points worth considering, including:

  • Due to lower water temperatures required, air source heat pumps perform well with underfloor heating. Larger radiators and upgraded pipework may be required.
  • Air source heating systems can be placed on the ground or a wall. The outside unit requires enough space around it to get a good flow of air.
  • Air source heat pumps can provide all the hot water requirements. A hot water cylinder will be required and a suitable internal space.

An air source heat pump system can lower your fuel bills, whilst providing you with an income under the Government’s RHI scheme. Once fitted the ASHP will need very little maintenance whilst heating your home and providing hot water.

Tips About Air Source Heat Pumps

Planning permission for an air source heat pump is not usually required, but if you live in a listed building or conservation area, you will probably need to ask the local authority if restrictions apply.

You should also check that your installation meets the building regulations in your area.

To make the most of an air source heat pump system, your home should be well-insulated so that it can retain the heat.

Grants For Air Source Heat Pumps

You can get thousands of pounds towards a new heating system with air source heat pump grants. The UK government is committed to reaching net zero emissions, and that’s why it is offering incentives to reduce the cost of greener heating.
