Product Information

There are two main types of air source heat pumps: air-to-water and air-to-air. They work in different ways and are compatible with different types of heating systems. Air-to-water heat pumps In an upflow furnace, cool air is drawn in from the side or at the bottom, and the hot air is discharged at the top. For basements or rooms with a low ceiling, low profile furnaces discharge the hot air from the side.

Air Source Heat Pumps Explained - Which?

From around 1900, the most popular type of furnace was the gravity warm air furnace. Such heating systems still worked the same way as the modern variety using ducts and vents. However, the furnace did not have a blower, relying instead on natural convection. Warm air would heat the home by simply rising up through the ducts. The cool air (or return air to use its technical name) would fall and be reheated by the furnace. The pump uses electricity to run, but it should use less electrical energy than the heat it produces. This makes them an energy-efficient way to warm your home. Heat pumps are highly efficient as they generate more energy than they consume. For example, with a COP of 3.0, 1kW of energy taken is 3kW of energy put into your heating system. Efficiency varies depending on system design, system sizing, heat loss and the weather. A heat pump needs a power source, usually electricity, to power the heat pump, so there will still be some resulting CO2 emissions. E.ON Energy is a Which? Trusted Trader offering Daikin, Mitsubishi and Samsung heat pump installations with seven-year guarantees, as well as an online costs calculator.The Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) tells you the average efficiency of your heat pump across the whole heating season. Your installer should calculate this and give you an estimate of SCOP before installing your heat pump. This gives you a realistic view of costs and efficiency that accounts for the accumulative warm, mild and cold days we face during the autumn and winter. The air source heat pump absorbs heat from the outside air into a liquid refrigerant at a low temperature. An air source heat pump takes heat from the air and boosts it to a higher temperature using a compressor. It then transfers the heat to the heating system in your home. Automatically connects and runs according to your central heating system providing extra workspace. When the temperature of the home falls below the desired pre-set level, the thermostat will activate the furnace. A fan or blower distributes the warm air generated by the furnace throughout the system and into each room. Once the target room temperature is reached, the thermostat will shut off the system until the room temperature drops low enough to activate it again. Special covers and grills for the vents direct the flow of warm air into the room. Baffles inside the ducts reduce the speed of the air flow, preventing turbulence which would generate unwanted noise. Forced air heating furnaces

Downflow furnaces draw cool air in at the top and expel the warm air out from the bottom. This makes them ideal for installation in the attic, because the air can be expelled down into the plenum from above. Horizontal furnaces work from side to side, drawing the cool air in at one side and expelling it out the other. Electricity is needed to drive the pump so they're not zero-carbon (unless the electricity comes from a renewable source such as solar panels or a wind turbine). You could save money on heating compared with some older systems and you may have lower operating costs than you would with a gas boiler. The furnace is the key component of a forced air heating system. Common gas fuels include propane or kerosene, or methane (natural gas). Electric forced air furnaces are also available, as well as solid fuel ones which typically burn wood. Hydronic coils are also available. These consist of coils of copper pipe which carry hot water from the property’s water heater. The pipes emit heat, consequently heating the surrounding air for distribution by the blower. Forced air furnace types Air source heat pumps look similar to air-conditioning units. Their size depends on how much heat they'll need to generate for your home - the more heat, the bigger the heat pump.

Your installer should tell you how to use the controls for your heat pump to help you use it most effectively. You will probably need to heat your home for more hours but at a lower temperature. Air source heat pumps require little maintenance and can provide heating and hot water, but they aren't flawless systems. Here are some of the key advantages and disadvantages: Pros
