What is an Air Source Heat Pump?

An Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) is a revolutionary system that transforms the energy from the air outside into heat for your home. This eco-friendly technology provides a sustainable heating solution, reducing reliance on traditional fossil fuels and household carbon emissions.

As trusted professionals, we also take pride in being Worcester Bosch accredited installers, ensuring not only the best in renewable technology but also the utmost in quality installations.

What Are the Benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps?

Choosing an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) installed by Croston Plumbing & Heating offers a multitude of benefits:

  • Lower Heating Bills: ASHPs are remarkably energy-efficient, which can result in reduced heating bills, especially if you are replacing conventional electric, oil, or LPG heating systems.
  • Reduced Carbon Footprint: You will significantly lower your home’s carbon emissions by utilising renewable heat from the environment.
  • Versatility: ASHPs provide heating during the winter and can be reversed to offer cooling during warmer months.
  • Minimal Maintenance: Compared to traditional heating systems, ASHPs require very little maintenance, and being Worcester Bosch accredited installers, our team ensures optimal performance with every installation.

How Does an Air Source Heat Pump Work?

Air Source Heat Pumps capture heat from the outside air like a refrigerator working in reverse. Here’s a simplified outline of the process:

  1. Absorption of Air: The ASHP absorbs outside air, using it to heat a refrigerant, which has a low boiling point and converts to a gas at low temperatures.
  2. Compression: The refrigerant gas is then compressed, which increases its temperature significantly.
  3. Heat Transfer: The hot gas is passed through a heat exchanger, which transfers the heat to your home’s heating system, whether it’s radiators, underfloor heating, or warm air convectors.
  4. Condensation: After releasing its heat, the refrigerant becomes liquid, and the cycle repeats.

This process is highly efficient and can function in temperatures as low as -15°C, ensuring your home stays warm even during the coldest months.
