Air To Water Heat Pumps
The need for energy to warm our houses or water keeps increasing every day, and this places a significant demand on the supply of electricity and increases the need for the fossil fuels. To reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and cut down on the use of electricity for heating homes and water, different types of heat pumps were designed as an alternative energy source to get the needed heat.
What Are Air Source Heat Pumps?
Air source heat pumps are energy efficient devices for heating the home and water using the heat extracted from the air. The pumps are built to absorb heat from the air and convert it into energy. In other words, air source heat pumps transform air outside into heat inside, irrespective of the temperature outside the house. Air source heat pumps require a small amount of electricity to run but produce renewable energy from the air, a natural source.
How Do Air Source Heat Pumps Work?
Air source heat pumps extract heat from the air outside by the refrigeration system into the heat pump compressor where it is concentrated into a higher temperature that is hot enough to heat the water for the heating and hot water circuits of the house.
Air source heat pump works exactly like the air conditioning unit, but instead of emitting cool or cold air into the house, the heat pump extracts and amplifies the heat in the air outside the home and emits heat.
Air-to-air System
This type of heat pump makes the air warm and circulates it by fans into the home. Air-to-air heat pumps are used for heating the house or keeping the home warm. Meanwhile, they are not made to provide homeowners with hot water.

Installation of Air Source Heat Pumps
A unit of the heat pump can be fitted on the external wall or made to stand on the floor. It is crucial, however, to install an air source heat pump where there is enough space to guarantee a good flow of air.
Benefits of Heat Pumps: Air and Ground Source Heat Pumps
- Cost Saving, Heat pumps have helped to reduce energy bills by 40% due to the reduction in the electricity used for heating the home and water.
- Reduction in Carbon Footprint, There has been a significant reduction in the volume of Fossil fuels consumed to heat homes.
- 300% Efficiency, Air source heat pumps are 300% efficient, in that, they generate 3kWh of energy for every 1kWh used.
- Environmentally Friendly, Heat pumps produce renewable energy that is eco-friendly and harmless to the human health and the atmosphere.
- Best Heating Solution, They can provide space heating and hot water
