FAQ's
What is an air to air heat pump?
An air to air heat pump is essentially air conditioning without any exchange of the air in the building. It can be used to heat or cool an area.
How does an air to air heat pump work?
It consists of an indoor and an outdoor unit that moves heat energy from outside to inside via a refrigeration process. It takes heat energy from the outside air and uses that energy for heating the air inside the house. Like a fridge, which cools the inside of the fridge and the back of the fridge gets warm, the air to air heat pump tries to cool the outside world and thus heats the inside space.
How is an air to air heat pump environmentally friendly?
As the air to air heat pump gains its heat energy from the outside air it only uses electricity to run the process and not to produce heat. This means for every one unit of electricity it consumes to run the process, it will produce three to four units of heat.
Does an air to air heat pump take long to heat up?
No, as the air to air heat pump absorbs the air from the room it is directly heating the air and blowing it back into the room, it heats the air quickly. It is not relying on heat transfer by radiation, convection or conduction from a surface to the air unlike radiators.
Can you heat the water for showers and taps with an air to air heat pump?
This is not possible, it just heats or cools air.
Why use air to air to heat a space instead of an air to water heat pump?
An air to air heat pump would be used where there is no water heating requirement and generally if only required to heat a few rooms as opposed to heating every room in a house. They are particularly suited to offices and shops where there is no water heating requirement. They can also be used as a low-cost alternative to putting in a wet heating system to an extension space or a converted space.
