The air source heat pump takes air into it using a fan, hence it must be placed outside in the open. The heat exchanger, which holds a refrigerant liquid, is subsequently passed by this air.

The refrigerant liquid is heated enough in an evaporator by the latent heat in the air to cause it to boil and change into a gas. After that, a compressor is used to compress this gas, which raises its temperature considerably.

After that, the refrigerant’s heat is extracted by another heat exchanger, converting it back into a liquid that may be utilised to generate heat.

When properly maintained and serviced on a regular basis, air source heat pumps can last up to 20 years or longer, making them a great long-term heating alternative for homes in Upper Dean. Heat pumps have the potential to be more dependable than boilers and oil heaters since they are made to process air rather than a material like fuel or water.

An air source heat pump requires monthly maintenance, just as your boiler does, but it is quite simple to maintain once installed. Most manufacturers demand annual servicing in order to keep your warranty valid. It is advised to perform checks every two to four months to extend the life of the heat pump and to have annual services to prevent problems and preserve the unit’s heating efficiency.
