Frequently asked questions about air source heat pumps

Air source heat pumps work by moving air, which is then heated or cooled to regulate the temperature. Air source heat pumps are a good option if you are worried about your monthly energy bills and want to be environmentally friendly.

It’s important to consider a few things before deciding if installing an air source heat pump is the right option for you: what climate you live in, the cost, and your current system. Air source heat pumps work best in climates that don’t experience a drastic temperature change throughout the year. Take into consideration how your current heating system performs at colder temperatures before deciding which type of air source pump is best for your home or business.

Air source heat pumps are technically complicated, but it’s really easy to understand the basics. Air source heat pumps use heat from the air outside to make your home warmer. First, they take heat from the outside and put it into a liquid. Then, the liquid transfers it from one place to another.

When the heat pump is cooling a building, the system works in reverse. It takes the heat from inside and transfers it to the outside of the building.

Whether you’re looking to add air source heat pumps to an existing building or incorporate them into a new building, one benefit is their compatibility with most types of buildings. We’ll explain the two setups that you need to choose from:

Ducted
Ducted air source heat pump systems can be built into new homes or installed in a home with ducted heating and cooling. These systems use the existing air ducts that are installed within the home’s walls. The outdoor unit will be connected to an indoor air handler that will fan the warm or cool air through your ducts and around your building.

Ductless
Ductless systems are often installed in homes and allow for personalized temperature controls. The number of units needed depends on the layout of the home, as well as the number of rooms that need individual air conditioning. These units will be visible, so if appearance matters to you, you’ll want to get a ducted system instead.

Yes! But if you live where it gets below freezing, you may want to keep your old system around as a back-up. Heat pump technology has come a long way, but it’s important to make sure it will work in your climate before you buy one.

Installing an air source heat pump system can help you save money over time on heating and cooling costs. These systems are not as expensive to install as you would think, and they will start saving you money after about 2 years.

Air source heat pumps are not only cost-effective, but they’re also very energy-efficient. They use less fuel than traditional heating and cooling methods, which has a positive impact on the environment. Air source heat pumps are even more beneficial for the environment when powered by solar energy!
