What are air source heat pumps?
Let’s start off by explaining what an air source heat pump is! An air source heat pump (ASHP) is a smart way to heat your home and get hot water, all while using less energy, sounds great right! It pulls heat from the air outside to keep your house warm in a cost-effective way, even when it's as cold as -15°C, our highly efficient air source heat pumps can still do the job. They're a much greener choice compared to old-school heating that uses fossil fuels. They're also great for anyone who wants to cut down on their carbon emissions and still have a heating system that's powerful, reliable and doesn't break the bank.
How do heat pumps work?Without getting too technical, air source heat pumps operate through sophisticated heat exchange technology in 3 stages.
Heat Absorption: The system absorbs heat from the external air into a refrigerant liquid which turns into a gas. Compression: This refrigerant (now in gas form) is moved through a compressor, elevating its temperature. This gas now condenses back into a liquid which releases the built-up heat. Distribution: The heated air or water is then distributed throughout your home via underfloor heating, radiators, or water systems. This process is remarkably efficient, utilising minimal electricity to generate up to three times the energy it consumes. All of our heat pump installations in Cornwall are designed for maximum efficiency, check out our projects page to keep up to date on KozyKoalas latest installs and see exactly how your new heat pump system install could look. |

Benefits of air source heat pump installations.
|
✓ low energy bills
The main benefit from having an air source heat pump installed will be the cost savings on your energy bills. These systems can generate up to 4 times more heat than the electricity they use. This means you can use the same amounts of heating and hot water at a much lower energy usage, making them a solid investment to your home or business. ✓ Quiet system noise When air source heat pumps are working their magic they produce a humming sound however they run very quiet at around 40-60 decibels, which is the equivalent to an electric toothbrush. This makes it far less disruptive than traditional indoor heating systems. As a result, they are ideal for homes or offices where maintaining a peaceful environment is important. |
✓ Long lifespan
With the right care and maintenance, air-source heat pumps can have a long lifespan of 15 to 20 years. Their long-lasting nature is attributed to the minimal number of components they have, which reduces their susceptibility to damage. Routine maintenance is essential for prolonging their service life and keeping them running smooth and staying efficient. ✓ Government grants Another great benefit to switching over to greener energy systems is that many government grants are available. These eco-friendly incentives help to lower the initial costs of heat pump installations and motive homeowners and businesses to make the switch sooner.
