What is an Air-Source Heat Pump?
An Air-Source Heat Pump is a type of renewable central heating that is powered by electric and is generally supported with solar PV. It sits outside the property and draws air in.
How does it work?
It draws in air, condensing it, heating it and providing warmth to a home. Pipes are installed which carry hot water through them which is stored in a water tank. When hot water or heating is needed, it is distributed.
