Air source heat pumps
A heat pump transfers thermal energy from one point to another, in the way that a fridge cools and evaporates the liquid to lower the internal temperature. This technology is used to extract thermal heat from the air outside.
Main benefits of running a heat pump
Produce 0 % emissions
Run on a small amount of electricity rather than burning fuel to create heat
Require less maintenance than combustion heating systems
Are safer and cheaper to run
Can effectively provide cooling in summer months
Have a lifespan of up to 50 years
Was part of the government’s renewable heat incentive scheme (RHI)
