Air to Heat Pumps

An air-source heat pump can provide efficient heating and cooling for your home. When properly installed, an air-source heat pump can deliver up to three times more heat energy to a home than the electrical energy it consumes. This is possible because a heat pump transfers heat rather than converting it from a fuel like combustion heating systems.

The outdoor unit of an air-to-heat pump contains a compressor and a heat exchanger. The compressor circulates a refrigerant through the system.

The refrigerant absorbs heat energy from the outdoor air, even in cold weather conditions. As the refrigerant evaporates, it becomes a low-pressure gas.

The heated air or water is distributed throughout the indoor space via fans, blowers, or radiators, providing warmth.

Advantages :

• Energy Efficiency : Air-to-heat pumps can provide efficient heating by extracting heat from the outdoor air, even when the temperature drops below freezing. They can achieve a high coefficient of performance (COP), which means they can produce more heat energy compared to the electrical energy they consume.
• Environmentally Friendly : Air-to-heat pumps are considered more environmentally friendly than traditional heating systems that rely on fossil fuels. By utilizing renewable heat sources, they can reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• Cost Savings : Although air-to-heat pumps can have a higher upfront cost compared to some heating systems, they can lead to long-term cost savings due to their energy efficiency. Additionally, they can qualify for various incentives, rebates, and tax credits offered by governments to promote energy-efficient technologies.
