The Technology

 

An Air Source Heat Pump is an external appliance which is fitted outside and extracts heat from the outside air (even down to –10°C) which is then brought inside to provide low cost heat which can be used for domestic space heating and hot water.

A heat pump is up to four times more energy efficient than some traditional heating methods and is recognized as a renewable heat technology by European Union and the UK Renewable Energy Strategy. This allows the opportunity for grant and tax benefits to be claimed.
