What are Heat Pumps?
Air source heat pumps are suitable for hot water and space heating which provide a comprehensive solution for both domestic and commercial applications. Providing a low carbon; low cost alternative solution for traditional boilers.
Hot water from the air source pumps pressurised system can be at temperatures as high as 55°C which is suitable for most domestic and business requirements. This will require a storage tank, specific to the usage requirements of the building.
The fan intake system (outdoor air handling unit) is located on the outside of the house; this requires bi-annual maintenance.
In some installations it may be appropriate to combine an air source heat pump with traditional heating technology to complement the required outputs. All pumps that we install are specified against user requirements and do not need any third party boosting system.

Air Source Heat Pumps do not incur any civil ground works cost for the installation and laying of pipe. The cost of civil ground works can be significant using alternative ground source systems; this is not a consideration that is required for Air Source Pumps. This makes this option a significant advantage over Ground Source versions.
Air Source Pumps can be used as a complete solution for room heating for both radiators or under floor heating using the same distribution system as a ground source heat pump or a traditional system. Air Source Heat Pumps are ideal for very tight spaces and can be used in a variety of properties from flats to detached houses. Within an eco architectural design or within the design of a building which has large internal spaces such as audience halls and public places.
