Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) are an eco-friendly solution, harnessing natural heat from the environment and powered by electricity from our increasingly decarbonised grid. Based in Haywards Heath, we are renewable energy specialists with expertise in ASHP installation, offering tailored solutions that take full advantage of their flexibility, making them an ideal choice for energy-efficient home heating across Sussex and the South East.

What is an ASHP?

An air source heat pump (ASHP) is a type of heating and cooling system that extracts heat from the outside air to provide heating during colder months and can also be used for cooling during warmer months. Here’s how it works:

Heat Extraction

Heat Extraction

Even in cold weather, there is heat energy present in the outdoor air. The ASHP system uses a refrigerant to absorb this heat from the outside air, even when temperatures are below freezing. Extracting temperatures from as little as – 15degC

Heat Conversion
Heat Distribution

During warmer months, the process can be reversed to provide cooling. The ASHP absorbs heat from inside the building and releases it outside, acting like an air conditioner.

What Are the Benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps?

Energy Efficiency

ASHPs are highly efficient, as they do not generate heat but instead move it from one place to another. This can lead to lower energy bills compared to traditional heating systems.

Reduced Carbon Emissions

Since they use electricity to move heat rather than generate it, ASHPs can help reduce carbon emissions, especially if the electricity comes from renewable sources.

Renewable Energy Source

The absorbed heat is then compressed by the heat pump’s compressor, raising its temperature to a level that can be used for heating purposes.

Versatility

ASHPs can provide both heating and cooling, offering year-round comfort.

ASHPs are well-suited for moderate climates, but advancements in technology have made them increasingly efficient in colder climates as well. They are often used in homes, offices, and commercial buildings as an efficient and environmentally friendly heating and cooling solution.
