Okay, so you may have heard about eco-friendly air source heat pumps, but do you know how they work? Allow us to indulge you 😉
They are designed to transfer heat, absorbed from the air outside, to an indoor space, via a ‘wet’ central heating system, to power radiators and provide hot water. However, an air source heat pump can also function as a cooling system in summer, often situated outside your home or office.
We have listed, what we consider to be, the five main advantages of an air-source heat pump below:
- Air source heat pumps can be powered by renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar power, as opposed to electricity, and produce a much lower carbon footprint.
- They will save you money on your energy bills.
- You could receive payments, for producing your heat, via the UK's Renewable Heat Incentive.
- They are highly efficient during the summer months, thanks to a high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER)
- They are hard-wearing and durable. They can be operational for up to 20 years with proper care and maintenance.
