Air source heat pumps

Imagine creating energy out of thin air.

Now you can.

With one of our Swedish designed heat pumps, make use of the energy in the outside air so you can reduce your bills and save the environment.

An air source heat pump collects a percentage of the energy required to heat your home and your hot water so you need less electricity to run it. The low grade heat is run through a compressor which brings it up to a useable temperature, keeping you warm on even the coldest of days. With efficiencies almost as good as ground source heat pumps, air source could be a perfect solution for your home if you do not have space for a trench or a borehole. Outside, all that is needed is a exterior wall to fix the heat pump onto. The fact that ground works are not necessary means that the overall cost of installation is reduced, as well as being an option which is suited to more properties.

As fuel prices are set to rise in the not too distant future, an air source heat pump, although more expensive to install than a regular gas or oil boiler will pay for itself in a surprisingly short time. At present, air source heat pumps are included in the Renewable Heat Premium Payments which indicates that from late 2012 they may also be included in the Renewable Heat Incentive Tariff payments for domestic properties although this is not guaranteed.
