What is an Air Source Heat Pump?
An Air Source Heat Pump is a heating system that extracts heat from the outside air and transfers it into a building to provide warmth. It works by absorbing heat from the outdoor air and increasing its temperature, then distributing the heat through a property's heating system, such as radiators or underfloor heating.
Even during the winter season, air-source heat pumps remain effective in keeping your home warm. If you'd like more information, reach out to our specialists to discover how an air-source heat pump could revolutionise your energy consumption and enhance the comfort of your home.
How can we help?
At Smart NRG, we are able to come out and assess your living areas to discover whether an air source heat pump is suitable for you. We will come and survey your property to confirm whether it falls in line with LEAP or ECO4 schemes, which both help homes to become more energy-efficient and affordable.
