Air source heat pump in Selkirkshire

Air source heat pumps are a eco-friendly power source that extracts heat from the air outside your house in order to provide you with heating inside. They function by passing warmth from the air over a refrigerant fluid, which is then passed through a compressor which heats it even further, followed by a condensor which releases the heat into the building.

Air source heat pumps come in two types. They can be either air to air heat pumps which take in heat from the outside air and transfer it to your home via a fan system or air vent underfloor heating. The other option is air to water heat pumps, which soak up heat and use it to heat water, which can be used to provide hot water heating through central heating and radiators.

Air source heat pumps use electricity to run, but they are very efficient and make use of naturally occuring renewable heat in the air. They can also be coupled with green electricity generation to further lessen their carbon impact. Installing an air source heat pump will enable you to benefit from the Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive, which will give you money back for the heat that you produce. Which means that the air source heat pump systems can save you money and pay for themselves over time.
