Heat from the air outside your home is absorbed into a fluid by an air source heat pump that is located outside your property either on a wall or on the ground. It can then be utilized to provide heat to operate your central heating system such as your radiators or under floor heating as well as to heat the hot water that you use through the taps in your home. This is an excellent way of using renewable energy.

There are a number of other potential benefits of using an air source heat pump such as: –

• May reduce carbon emissions.
• Possible reduction in fuel bills.
• No need to have fuel delivered as is the case with oil fired central heating.
• The Renewable Heat Incentive scheme may provide an income.
• Very little maintenance required.

Heat is produced at lower temperatures and greater time periods by air source heat pumps than the likes of gas boilers. Interestingly, an air source heat pump is capable of extracting heat from the air even if the outside temperature is as low as -15 degrees centigrade. You may find that your central heating needs to be kept on all the time during the winter to provide efficient heating and that your radiators will not be as hot as they would have been if you had the likes of a gas boiler providing your central heating.  An electricity supply is required for the boiler.
