Benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps

Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are a highly efficient and eco-friendly heating and cooling solution for residential and commercial properties. They work by absorbing heat from the outside air and transferring it into the building, even at low temperatures. This innovative technology provides various advantages that make it a popular choice for homeowners looking to reduce their environmental impact and energy costs.

Energy Efficiency

Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are highly efficient, delivering up to three or four times more energy than they consume by using heat from the air instead of burning fuel. They operate effectively in temperatures as low as -15°C, making them suitable for various climates, and provide a versatile solution for both heating and cooling, ensuring year-round comfort.

9

Low Carbon Footprint

Air source heat pumps significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuel-based heating, helping to meet climate goals and lower a household’s overall carbon footprint. Using renewable electricity to power the pump can further decrease emissions, especially in areas with abundant green energy sources.

9

Cost Savings

ASHPs may have a higher initial installation cost than traditional heating systems, their high efficiency leads to significant savings on energy bills. Additionally, government incentives and rebates for renewable energy installations can help offset these initial expenses.

9

Minimal Maintenance

ASHPs require less maintenance than traditional systems like gas boilers, needing only periodic cleaning and annual inspections for optimal performance. With fewer mechanical parts, they have a lower risk of breakdowns and repairs, helping to keep long-term costs down.

9

Enhanced Comfort

ASHPs provide a more consistent indoor temperature, enhancing comfort by eliminating the on-and-off cycling common with traditional heating systems. Many models also feature advanced controls for easy temperature adjustments and remote management via smartphone apps.

9

Government Incentives

There are several government schemes and incentives to encourage the installation of air source heat pumps (ASHPs), making them more accessible and affordable for homeowners. These benefits aim to reduce the country’s carbon footprint and support the transition to renewable energy sources.

F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do air source heat pumps work?

Air source heat pumps absorb heat from the air into a fluid at a low temperature. This fluid is then compressed to raise its temperature before transferring the higher temperature heat to the home’s heating and hot water systems.

There are two primary types of ASHPs: air-to-water and air-to-air. The choice between these two systems will dictate the type of heat distribution setup required in the home.

Is your home well insulated?

Air source heat pumps operate most effectively at lower temperatures compared to traditional boilers, so it’s essential to ensure your home is well insulated and draught-proofed to minimize heat loss. While ASHPs can function in temperatures as low as -15°C (with some models working at even lower temperatures), they achieve the highest efficiency at milder outdoor temperatures.

Do you need planning permission?

Although air source heat pumps don’t require much outdoor space, the unit will be visible on the exterior of your property. It’s advisable to check with your local planning authority to determine if planning permission is needed. Since the unit is installed above ground, it generates noise similar to an air conditioning unit, which could potentially disturb you or your neighbours.

Can I get a grant for installing an air source heat pump?

Yes, you may be eligible for financial support when installing an air source heat pump. Through government schemes like the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI), you could receive payments based on the amount of heat your pump generates. While the RHI has closed for new applications, other grants, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, can help cover installation costs, partially or fully, depending on a survey of your property.
