How do Air Source Heat Pumps work?
Air Source Heat Pumps, or ASHPs, work on the principle of transferring heat energy from the outside air to the interior of a building during colder seasons and extracting heat from the indoor air to release it outside during warmer seasons. ASHPs consist of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, connected by refrigerant lines.
The outdoor unit contains a fan, a compressor, and a heat exchanger. The fan draws in air from the surroundings, and the heat exchanger extracts heat from this air, even in temperatures as low as -15 to -20 degrees Celsius (5 to -4 degrees Fahrenheit). The compressor increases the temperature of the extracted heat, making it suitable for space heating or hot water.
The indoor unit typically includes a heat exchanger and a fan or blower to distribute the heated air throughout the building. In some cases, ASHPs can also be equipped with a reversing valve, allowing them to operate in reverse to provide cooling during hot weather, similar to an air conditioner.

Air Source Heat Pumps FAQs*
Yes, air source heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling. They can extract heat from the outdoor air for heating during colder months and reverse the process to remove heat from indoors and provide cooling during warmer months.
*Please note that specific details and requirements may vary depending on your location and the particular air source heat pump system.
