What is an Air Source Heat Pump?
One of the most environmentally friendly heating systems, Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) extract warmth from the air to supply central heating and hot water to your home using electricity.
An ASHP remakes heat absorbed from the air into gas at temperatures under -50°C. It then compresses this gas, which in turn, heats it up through a pressure increase; the heat is then transferred to the water in your central heating system. Excess hot water can be stored in a hot water cylinder. A heat pump is an incredibly efficient and sustainable energy source that can generate more units of heat than the electricity it consumes.

ASHPs versus Boilers
Air Source Heat Pumps are becoming increasingly popular with homeowners due to rising energy costs and appreciation for sustainable and energy-efficient heating capabilities. Traditional boilers tend to operate at roughly 90% efficiency, and for every £1 spent, 90p is utilised, and 10p is wasted—ASHPs can deliver up to three times the energy output for the same amount spent. So, they are not only far more effective, but they translate to generating £3 worth of energy.
With gas prices continuing to climb and electricity rates predicted to decrease, thanks to the growing use of solar power and wind energy, if you combine an Air Source Heat Pump with solar panels and battery storage, you will be able to reap the benefits of sustainable energy, and its cost savings. This solidifies ASHPs as a wise investment for homeowners in Kincardine.
