How Do Air Source Heat Pumps Work?

Air source heat pumps operate by absorbing heat from the outside air and transferring it indoors through a refrigeration cycle. They can heat your home in winter, cool your home in summer (with reversible systems) and supply hot water year-round. This renewable technology is up to 4x more efficient than traditional heating systems, converting 1kW of electricity into up to 4kW of heat.

  • Lower energy bills - reduces reliance on fossil fuels

  • Eco-friendly - slash your carbon emissions

  • Low maintenance - minimal servicing required

  • Government incentives - eligible funding available

  • Quiet operation - low noise, space saving

Diagram showing how air source heat pumps work

1. Outside air

Heat from the outside air is transferred to a refrigerant, which easily evaporates at low temperatures to capture and carry thermal energy.

2. Heat pump

The heat pump compresses the refrigerant, raising its temperature so the stored heat can be used to warm the water in your home or building.

3. Generated heat

The generated heat is then delivered to your radiators or used to warm the water in your hot water cylinder, keeping it ready for use whenever needed.

4. Heated water

The heated water is stored and then distributed to supply taps, showers, and other hot water needs throughout your building.
