FAQ

What is air source heating?

Air source heating is a type of renewable energy technology that uses air as a source of heat. It works by extracting heat from the air outside and using it to heat a building or provide hot water.

How does air source heating work?

Air source heating works by using a heat pump to extract heat from the air outside and transfer it to a building. The heat pump consists of an outdoor unit that extracts heat from the air, and an indoor unit that distributes the heat to the building’s heating system or hot water tank.

What are the benefits of air source heating?

The benefits of air source heating include reduced energy bills, a lower carbon footprint, and the potential to generate income from excess energy through feed-in tariffs or net metering. It can also provide a reliable source of heat, especially in areas with no access to natural gas.

Can air source heating be used in cold climates?

Yes, air source heating can be used in cold climates, but it may be less efficient at very low temperatures. It is important to choose a system that is suitable for the specific climate and heating requirements of the building.

How much does air source heating cost?

The cost of air source heating can vary depending on factors such as the size of the system, the type of heat pump used, and the specific requirements of the installation. As a general rule, a typical air source heating system may cost between £6,000 to £12,000.
