What is Air Source Heat Pump Installation?

An air source heat pump (ASHP) is a type of heating and cooling system that extracts heat from the outdoor air and uses it to heat your home. ASHP installation involves the installation of the heat pump unit outside your home and connecting it to your existing ductwork or installing new ductwork as necessary.

Here are the main steps involved in Air Source Heat Pump Installation:

Site assessment

A professional installer will visit your home to assess the site and determine the best location for the ASHP. They will also check the condition of your ductwork and insulation.

Outdoor unit installation

The outdoor unit will be installed on a concrete pad outside your home. The installer will connect the unit to your electrical system and install refrigerant lines between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit.

Indoor unit installation

The indoor unit will be installed in your home, typically in the basement or utility room. The installer will connect the indoor unit to your existing ductwork or install new ductwork as necessary.

Testing and inspection

Once the installation is complete, the installer will test the system to make sure it is working properly. They will also perform a final inspection to ensure that the installation meets all building codes and safety standards.

Maintenance

After installation, it's important to schedule regular maintenance for your ASHP to keep it running efficiently and prevent breakdowns.

How does it work?

Heat absorption

The air source heat pump absorbs heat from the outside air using an outdoor unit containing a refrigerant. This refrigerant is circulated through a loop of pipes called the evaporator coil, which is exposed to the outside air.

Compression

The heat absorbed by the refrigerant is then compressed by a compressor unit, which raises its temperature and pressure.

Heat release

The heated refrigerant is then circulated through a heat exchanger, where it releases heat into the indoor space. The heat exchanger is part of the indoor unit of the air source heat pump.

Cooling

In cooling mode, the process is reversed. The air source heat pump absorbs heat from the indoor air, releases it outside, and cools the indoor air that circulates through your home.

Want to know more about Air Source Heat Pump Installation?

An air source heat pump works by transferring heat from the outdoor air to the indoor space. A traditional home heating system creates heat by either burning fuels or converting electricity. An air source heat pump, on the other hand, transfer existing heat energy from the ambient air to heat radiators and hot water in your home. The technology is quite impressive and makes air source heat pumps very efficient and cost-effective to run.
An air source heat pump can be an efficient and environmentally friendly way to heat and cool your home. It is much more efficient than traditional heating systems, as it moves heat rather than generating it, and it produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, it can provide year-round comfort and potentially save you money on energy bills over time.
The cost of an air source heat pump can vary depending on several factors, including the size and type of the unit, the complexity of the installation, and your location.
