An is source heat pump works in the opposite way of your fridge at home; it absorbs heat from outside air and transfers this to a higher temperature to heat your home or business.
The air source heat pump absorbs heat from the outside air using a refrigerant gas.
Using an internal compressor, the refrigerant is compressed raising its temperature.
The heated refrigerant gas is then passed through a heat exchanger which warms the water to heat your home and hot water.
The heated water is then circulated to your radiators or underfloor heating as well as your domestic hot water.
With climate change being such a hot topic in today’s world, primarily an air source heat pump is environmentally friendly, expelling no harmful gases into the atmosphere, no fossil fuels are burnt using air source heat pumps.
Heat pumps are highly energy efficient, delivering 3 to 4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used.
Heat pumps are generally more cost efficient over time, particularly when twinned with solar PV technology and other energy reducing measures.
Yes, an air source heat pump works with both radiators and underfloor heating. The heat pump works particularly well with underfloor heating with lower flow temperatures. With correct design, heat pumps will also work well with radiators although, it is highly likely that your existing radiators will require replacement to take account for the lower flow temperature.
Yes, by using a hot water cylinder, the heat pump will provide your home or business with domestic hot water.
An air source heat pump will generate a comparable noise level as a domestic dishwasher making them relatively quiet whilst operating.
Yes, Peak Renewables are fully MCS accredited for the design, installation, and commissioning of air source heat pumps. This means that our workforce and company have met the stringent MCS standards to give you complete peace of mind.
