Air source heat pumps

The air source heat pump transfers heat from the outside air - even when cold - to water. This water is then passed through a heat exchanger and heats rooms up via radiators.

In comparison to regular gas boilers, air source heat pumps are more energy-efficient as they produce more heat energy than the electrical energy they use.
