Air source heat pumps (ASHP) are being talked about more and more.
It’s no surprise with low emissions and low running costs and attracting potential income through the UK government’s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI).
But how does an ASHP work?
Can you get heat from thin air?
The short animation below shows you how:

Our air source heat pump has been in operation for five months, over spring and summer, so it is a good time to review the performance and efficiency of our Caernarfon 18kW Eco Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) from Global Energy Systems.
Most ASHP owners in the UK use Mitsubishi, Hitachi or Daiken ASHPs, so it should be interesting to see how a British manufactured ASHP, made for the British climate, will perform and compare.
As part of this video, I’ve addressed our coefficient of performance (COP), performance and efficiency, the control panel and settings for the ASHP, noise rating and some general thoughts.
I will do a follow up video in autumn and winter to provide a full performance and efficiency comparison.
