How do Air Source Heat Pump Systems Work?
Air source heat pumps (also known as ASHPs) are low-carbon heating systems that use ambient air to heat up your home. They can be used for both hot water and space heating.
The heat from the outside air is gathered and absorbed into a loop with refrigerant fluid. After the heat is extracted from the air it passes through a compressor. The compressor does as it sounds; it compresses, which results in a higher temperature.

Another important part of the air source heat pump is the heat exchanger, which transfers the heat through piping to the needed locations such as radiators, underfloor heating systems, hot water circuits, or air conditioners in the house. The EVITRON service includes inspection items to ensure that the heat pump is operating normally.
How to Choose the Right Size Heat Pump?
This is an important choice as it could increase your costs dramatically, and decrease the performance. When thinking about the optimal size of the device, it might be useful to consider building insulation and orientation in order to consider the amount of heat that might be dispersed. You need to also consider the size of the place you need to heat and the average temperature in winter.
How often will a Heat Pump Need Maintenance?
Heat pumps are built to last anywhere from ten to fifteen years, depending on their maintenance. It’s best to have your heat pump inspected and worked on no less than once a year. Many people choose to have maintenance completed before each heating and cooling season. Often, we find a small emerging problem during a regular maintenance appointment that if left, could result in a larger future repair.
