  • How do air source heat pumps work?
    Air source heat pumps are an efficient alternative source for heating your home. An air source heat pump works similarly to an air conditioning unit, however, a heat pump has a reversing valve that allows it to heat your home. A heat pump draws in air from outdoors, before pumping it over the external heat exchange surface of the pump. This causes refrigerant liquid to become warm and evaporate, turning into a gas. This gas is then compressed, causing its temperature to rise before being passed over the internal heat exchange. This warm air can then be transferred into your home.
