Here is everything you need to know, including why we’re the experts in air source heat pumps Essex property owners trust.
What is an Air Source Heat Pump?
An air source heat pump is a type of renewable energy system that harnesses the natural heat from the outside air to provide warmth and hot water for your property. Unlike traditional fossil fuel-based heating systems, air source heat pumps don’t burn fuel to generate heat. Instead, they use a refrigerant to transfer heat from one location to another.
How Do Air Source Heat Pumps Work?
Air source heat pumps work through the following process:
Heat is sourced from the air outside and then blown over the heat exchange surface of the exterior part of the heat pump.
This causes the refrigerant liquid in the heat pump to evaporate and turn into a gas. This gas is then moved through a compressor, which increases the pressure. This makes its temperature rise.
The heated gas is then passed over the internal heat exchange surface, where it can then be transferred to whatever system you have in place to heat your property.
As the heat is transferred into your property, the gas falls in temperature, causing it to return to a liquid state. The cycle of reverse refrigeration repeats until your property reaches the required temperature setting on your thermostat. Just think of it as the opposite of an air conditioning system!
What Are the Benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps?
Air source heat pumps offer a range of benefits. They are a renewable energy source, reducing your reliance on fossil fuels and lowering your carbon footprint. They can also help you to heat your property more efficiently – lessening your impact on the planet and reducing your bills. They’re low maintenance too, saving you time and money when it comes to upkeep.
