Air Source Heat Pumps

Renewable heating solution

Air to water, air source heat pumps are helping homes throughout Ireland to reduce their carbon emissions. They work by capturing heat energy from the air outside and transfer this into ‘wet’ heating systems, including radiators or underfloor heating. Visit our Knowledge Hub to find out more about how an air to water, air source heat pump works. For new build homes, installing a heat pump can also help to achieve compliance under building regulations.

Design & Installation

As low temperature heating systems, air to water, air source heat pumps operate in a different way to high temperature, traditional fossil fuel heating systems (boilers). When you are considering installing a heat pump, it is therefore very important to ensure that the heating system is carefully designed so that it can provide the heating requirements for the property and its occupants.

Is your Home Heat Pump Ready?

To ensure a heat pump can perform at optimum efficiency, the home must be adequately insulated to minimise heat loss and the heating system must be correctly designed. This includes having the right size and specification of air to water, air source heat pump and appropriately sized heat emitters within each room within the home. A full customer handover should also take place with the installer so that homeowners understand how their highly efficient, low carbon heating system will operate.
