Heat pumps: How they work

Whether you choose an air source heat pump or a ground source heat pump to heat your building, you’ll be amazed by how efficient they are. Here’s how they work.

Air source heat pumps: How it works

  • An air source heat pump uses a refrigerant to transfer heat from the outside air to the inside of your home.
  • The refrigerant is a liquid that can easily change state from a gas to a liquid and back again.
  • The heat pump has two main parts: an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. The outdoor unit contains a compressor and a condenser coil, while the indoor unit contains an evaporator coil and a fan.
  • The compressor uses electricity to compress the refrigerant gas, causing it to heat up.
  • The hot gas then passes through the condenser coil, which releases the heat into the outside air.
  • The evaporator coil is cooled by the refrigerant liquid as it absorbs heat from the inside air.
  • The fan then blows the warm air from the evaporator coil into your home.

Ground source heat pumps: How it works

  • A ground source heat pump uses the ground as a heat source in the winter and a heat sink in the summer.
  • The heat pump has two main parts: an outdoor unit and an indoor unit.
  • The outdoor unit contains a loop of pipes that are buried underground, while the indoor unit contains a compressor and a condenser coil.
  • The refrigerant in the pipes absorbs heat from the ground in the winter and releases heat into the ground in the summer.
  • The compressor then uses electricity to compress the refrigerant gas, causing the gas to heat up.
  • The hot gas passes through the condenser coil, releasing the heat into the indoor unit
  • The evaporator coil is then cooled by the refrigerant liquid as it absorbs heat from the inside air.
  • The fan then blows the warm air from the evaporator coil into your home.

Ten reasons why installing a heat pump is a good idea

They’re more efficient than traditional heating systems

Heat pumps can transfer heat from a source that is cooler than the air inside your home, meaning they can provide more heat for less energy.

They can save you money on your energy bills

They can save you up to 30% on your energy bills compared to traditional heating systems.

They’re more environmentally friendly

Heat pumps don’t produce any emissions, which makes them a more sustainable option.

They can heat AND cool your home

They can provide both heating and cooling, which can save you money on your energy bills year-round.

They’re quiet

Ground and air source heat pumps are much quieter than traditional heating systems, such as boilers and furnaces.

They’ve got a long lifespan

New installations can last for up to 20 years, meaning they’re a good long-term investment.

They’re eligible for government grants and incentive

There are a number of government grants and incentives available to help homeowners install heat pumps.

They’re becoming more affordable

The cost has been decreasing in recent years, making them more affordable for homeowners.

A good option for all homes

Heat pumps can be used in all homes, regardless of the climate or the insulation levels (though ground source pumps need access to the ground).

They reduce your carbon footprint

Heat pumps don’t produce any emissions, which makes them a more sustainable option.

FAQs

We’ve answered some of the most commonly asked questions about heat pumps and heat pump grants here, but please speak to the team if you have any more.

Is it worth getting a heat pump?

This depends on a number of factors, including the size of your home, the climate in your area, and your energy usage. In general, heat pumps are more efficient than traditional heating systems, such as boilers and furnaces, meaning they can save you money on your energy bills.

However, the upfront cost of installing a heat pump can be high, so speak to our expert team if you’re considering a ground source heat pump or an air source heat pump, and we’ll give you the best possible advice.

Is a heat pump enough to heat a house?

Yes, but the size of your home, the climate in your area, and the efficiency of your heat pump can all have an impact on whether you’d benefit from a heat pump installation.

For example, if you live in a colder part of the UK, you may need a more powerful heat pump. You might also need to install additional insulation in your home to make sure that the heat pump is working efficiently.

If you’re in any doubt, then have a word with our team, who’ll be happy to help in any way they can.

Is a heat pump better than central heating?

Yes, they’re far more energy-efficient and they’re much cleaner, too. However, if you don’t have room for a heat pump installation, then we can offer alternative heating solutions in the form of boilers, central heating, insulation, and electric storage heaters.

How much does a heat pump cost?

The cost of a heat pump in the UK can range from anywhere between £14,000 and £45,000, depending on the type of heat pump you install and the size of your home. Heat pump grants are available via the government’s ECO4 scheme, so apply today to receive a substantial discount on the cost of installing your heat pump.
