Air Source Heat Pump Installers in Kent, South East England

What are Air Source Heat Pumps?

Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) use a process called heat transfer to extract energy from the outside air and circulate warmth throughout your building. These heat pumps offer energy efficiency by providing up to five times the heat output for every unit of electricity consumed, significantly reducing your energy bills. With Transcrew's installation services, you can rest assured that our solutions are reliable and tailored to maximize your comfort.

How Do Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) Work?

This eco-friendly technology extracts energy from ambient air, compresses it, and distributes it through your home's heating system. The process involves a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator to maximize heating efficiency. Even in cold weather, air source heat pumps can deliver warmth effectively, making them an ideal choice for the UK's climate.

Frequently Asked Questions about Air Source Heat Pumps

Here are some common questions about heat pumps, if you still need to find out more information or have any enquiries, please call us on 01843 838636 or email office@transcrew.co.uk.

The duration of an air source heat pump installation depends on several factors, including the complexity of the job and the existing heating system. Generally, a straightforward installation takes about 2-3 days. This timeframe includes setting up the outdoor unit, connecting it to the indoor components, and integrating it with your current heating system. However, more complex projects that involve significant modifications or upgrades to your current system may take longer, potentially extending to a week or more.

While air source heat pumps are versatile and can be installed in most homes, their efficiency can be influenced by the level of insulation and the existing heating system. Homes with good insulation and a compatible heating distribution system (like underfloor heating or low-temperature radiators) are ideal candidates. A professional assessment is essential to determine the best solution for your property. Factors such as the size of your home, the type of insulation, and your heating needs will be considered to ensure optimal performance and energy savings.

Air source heat pumps require minimal maintenance compared to traditional heating systems. Regular checks include ensuring that the outdoor unit is free from debris such as leaves and snow, which can obstruct airflow. Filters should be cleaned or replaced periodically, as recommended by the manufacturer, to maintain efficiency. Scheduling annual servicing by a qualified technician is crucial to inspect and maintain the system, ensuring it operates at peak performance. This servicing can help identify any potential issues early and prolong the lifespan of your heat pump.

Modern air source heat pumps are designed to operate quietly. The outdoor unit produces a sound level similar to a modern refrigerator, typically around 40-60 decibels. This makes them suitable for residential areas without causing noise disturbances. Proper installation and placement of the outdoor unit can further minimize any noise impact. If noise is a concern, discuss it with your installer, who can recommend the quietest models and optimal placement strategies to ensure minimal disruption.
