Air-to-water heat pumps are suitable for many types of homes and are the most common type of domestic heat pump, with tens of thousands of installations across the UK. However, there are a few things you should consider before deciding whether a heat pump is right for you.
You’ll need a place outside your home where a unit can be fitted to a wall or placed on the ground. It must have some space around it to allow a good flow of air.
There are two types of air-to-water heat pumps: monobloc and split systems. A monobloc system has all the components in a single outdoor unit, with pipes carrying water to the central heating system and a hot water cylinder inside your home. A split system separates the components between indoor and outdoor units. Whether a monobloc or split system is right for you will depend on your budget and the space available.
Monobloc systems tend to be cheaper and quicker to install and don’t take up as much space in your home, although they are generally slightly less efficient than split systems. The efficiency gain from split systems comes from some of the heat transfer taking place inside the building where it is warmer, resulting in less heat being lost.
If you’re not limited by space inside your home, it may be worth the extra cost of installing a split system. Your installer should be able to talk you through your options and help you choose the design that works best for you.
The external unit for a heat pump is identical for both monobloc and split heat pumps. Noise is created by large fans moving air across the heat exchanger.
Unless the heat pump is working very hard (ie in cold weather or producing high temperature water), you can expect the noise to be a similar volume to a fridge, if you were standing within a couple of metres. You could easily hold a normal conversation next to it, without raising your voice. As it gets colder outside, this noise will increase while it’s operating, but should still allow you to hold a conversation easily, only raising your voice a little.
The inside unit for a split system only contains valves and pumps and makes very little noise at all.
A standard heat pump doesn’t provide hot water on demand like a combi boiler, so you will need a way of storing hot water for when you need it. The size of hot water cylinder required will depend on the amount of hot water that your household typically uses, but the cylinder can usually be fitted inside any cupboard that measures around 80x80cm.
The cost of an air-to-water heat pump varies depending on the size of heat pump, the size of the property, whether it’s a newbuild or an existing property, as well as whether you need to change the way you distribute heat around your property. Typical costs are around £7,000 to £13,000, and we recommend speaking to at least three installers to provide a quote for your heat pump system to give you the best idea of costs for your home.
Running costs will depend on how your heat pump is designed and how it is operated. Savings on your energy bill will also depend on the system you are replacing.
Our experts are on hand to explain how air source pumps work, how they operate in your property, and how heat pumps can move heat around, rather than generate it using other forms of wasteful energy.
Eligible for the UK’s renewable heat incentive, these systems offer a wealth of benefits for homeowners:
Reduce fuel bills: Air source heat pumps extract heat from the outside air, even in colder temperatures, and use it to heat your home and water. This significantly reduces reliance on fossil fuels and leads to substantial savings on energy bills.
Reduce your carbon footprint: By harnessing renewable energy sources, air source heat pumps significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to traditional heating systems. This is a step towards a greener and more sustainable future.
Whole-house heating solutions, including hot water: Air source heat pumps provide comprehensive heating and hot water solutions for your entire home. Enjoy consistent warmth and hot water on demand, all while reducing your environmental impact.
Low maintenance costs: With fewer moving parts than traditional systems, air source heat pumps require minimal maintenance, saving you time and money in the long run.
Modern controls: Air source heat pumps come equipped with user-friendly controls, allowing you to easily adjust temperature settings and monitor energy usage for optimal comfort and efficiency.
Easy installation and maintenance: The installation process for air source heat pumps is typically straightforward and less disruptive than traditional systems. Additionally, maintenance requirements are minimal, ensuring hassle-free operation for years to come.
How Air Source Heat Pump Installation Transforms Your Home’s Heating:
Air source heat pump installation is revolutionising home heating in the UK.
These systems operate by extracting heat from the outside air, even in colder temperatures, through a simple yet ingenious process:
Heat Absorption: An air-to-water heat pump installed outside your home draws ambient air through a fan, passing it over an evaporator coil containing a special refrigerant fluid. This fluid absorbs the heat from the air, much like a sponge absorbs water.
Heat Exchange and Compression: The refrigerant, now warmed by the absorbed heat, passes through a compressor. The compressor significantly increases the temperature of the refrigerant, making it much hotter than the air outside.
Heat Transfer: The high-temperature refrigerant flows into a heat pump unit’s heat exchanger. Here, it transfers heat to the water circulating throughout your home’s central heating system.
Water Distribution: This heated water can be used to warm your rooms via radiators or underfloor heating, and it can also be stored in a hot water cylinder for use in taps, showers, and baths.
Refrigerant Cooling and Cycle Restart: After transferring its heat to the water, the refrigerant cools down and returns to a liquid state. It then cycles back to the evaporator coil, ready to absorb more heat from the outside air, and the process repeats.
This continuous cycle, made possible through air source heat pump installation, ensures a constant supply of hot water and comfortable warmth for your home while significantly reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions compared to traditional heating systems.
