Installing an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP). There is no need to dig, drill or have a large plot of land. Instead, the energy is collected directly from the surrounding air using an externally located air handling unit. This can be located up to 30 meters away from the outside of the building for which it is providing heating and hot water.
CONSTANT ENERGY SOURCE
An Air Source Heat Pump absorbs low grade heat from the air and raises its temperature efficiently to be suitable for space heating and/or hot water. Using proven inverter driven heat pump technology to deliver effective, low carbon heating and hot water, Air Source systems provide a simple, renewable solution that rivals traditional heating systems.ADVANTAGES OF AN AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP
- Helps achieve renewable energy targets
- Capable of reducing running costs and CO2 emissions
- Fully scalable and can work independently or in conjunction with other systems (link down to dual fuel area)
- Optimised systems from 4kW to 688kW
- Lower investment costs
- No impact on the ground
- No large plot required
- For every 1kW of electricity fed into the Air Source Heat Pump units that we use from our suppliers (i.e. the outdoor part of the heating system), you could get approximately 3kW of heating energy. The overall system efficiency and energy savings will depend on the composition of your current heating system, satisfactory system design, installation and operational settings i.e. how you use the heating system.
