How do air source heat pumps work?

At Outlook Energy Solutions, not only do we provide heating system installation for an affordable price – with a professional service – but we also want to educate the public on the systems we install.

1
Heat from outside air
Air source heat pumps take in air from outside to heat a liquid refrigerant. This then turns it into a gas.
2
Heat transfer
Using electricity, the air source heat pump compresses this gas to increase its temperature and transfers the heat into your home.
3
Stored hot water
Hot water can be stored by an air source heat pump. This water can then be used for baths, taps and showers.
4
Heating
The air source heat pump sends heat to your underfloor heating and/or radiators, as well as heating water in a hot water cylinder.

What are the benefits of air source heat pumps?

There are several benefits to air source heat pump installation, including cost savings and exceptional longevity.

Efficient running costs
Air source heat pumps require less energy to run, meaning they’re easier on your bills compared to a gas or oil boiler. Heat pump running costs are an appealing factor for many interested in a heat pump installation
Long lifespan
Air source heat pumps are well-known for their longevity. Depending on the quality of the pump, a heat pump can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years. Gas boilers, for example, can power a central heating system for 10 to 15 years without adding new parts.
Safe investment
An air source heat pump is a wise investment as a property owner as renewable energy will protect you from increasing gas bills. As they’re more energy efficient, you’ll see a difference in your energy bills over time.
Strong performance
When air source heat pump installation is done correctly, they can deliver up to two to four times more heat energy to a property than the electrical energy it consumes.

Funding available with government-backed grants

As part of the UK government’s initiative to cut carbon emissions, grants are available to fund energy-efficient upgrades to homes with low energy ratings.

If you are living on a low-income or receive income-related benefits, you could be eligible to receive full funding for home insulation, air source heating and solar panel energy.

Air source heat pumps FAQs

Is air source heat pump installation worth it?

Yes, absolutely.

Air source heat pumps are a fantastic choice for efficiently heating your home and water. Not only do they consume less power – lowering your energy bills – but they’re low maintenance and can lower your carbon footprint.

Are there any downsides to owning an air source heat pump?

While there are many benefits to air source heat pump installation, there are a couple of downsides.

They are:

Not as effective in poorly insulated properties – For poorly insulated homes, an air source heat pump isn’t as effective as it struggles to heat them (much like a boiler). As a result, it would cost a lot to heat the home.

Noise – Some air source heat pumps can cause quite a bit more noise than a standard gas boiler, and this may put some people off. However, they’re still fairly quiet.

Visibility – An air source heat pump cannot be hidden in a box, so they’re much visible than a boiler.

How effective are air source heat pumps in the winter?

Air source heat pumps are extremely effective in lower temperatures. As long as the machine is maintained effectively with a regular service, it can function in temperatures as low as -25°C.
