How Do Air Source Heat Pumps Work?

An air source heat pump extracts free heat from the outside air—even in winter—and uses it to warm your home. In summer, it reverses the process to cool your home, acting like an all-in-one HVAC system.
Key Components:
🔹 Outdoor Unit – Absorbs ambient heat from the air.
🔹 Indoor Unit – Distributes warmth via radiators or underfloor heating.
🔹 Heat Exchanger & Compressor – Boosts efficiency, delivering 3-4x more heat than the energy it consumes.
💡 Did You Know? ASHPs work efficiently even at -15°C, making them perfect for the East Midlands’ climate!
