Air source heat pumps are an excellent alternative to ground-source heat pumps. Unlike their ground-source counterparts, air source heat pumps generally don’t require digging in your garden, making the installation process quick and hassle-free. These pumps extract heat from the surrounding air and convert it into a liquid refrigerant. This heated refrigerant is then distributed throughout your property, ensuring efficient heating. For optimal performance, it is important to have a well-insulated home. Additionally, any excess heat can be stored in a hot cylinder for use in showers and baths.
