Air-to-air heat pumps work by transferring heat from the external air to the interior of your home, thereby raising the ambient temperature in each room. This heated air is introduced into your dwelling through a system of fan coil units, commonly known as ‘blowers.’
Referred to interchangeably as air conditioning, these heat pumps serve not only for cooling but also for heating, contrary to common perception.
It’s worth noting, however, that air-to-air heat pumps do not contribute to the heating of water supplied to taps, so you should look at alternative ways of water heating when it comes to bathing and showering.
When heating our homes in the UK, air-to-air heat pumps are a good choice for smaller properties and a lot of domestic setups go for an air-to-air heat pump system.
However, in larger properties, people may opt for air-to-water systems.
Air-to-air systems tend to be a popular choice. Why? Well, they’re not just about heating – they’re also handy for keeping things cool, especially in those warmer climates.
To install a unit outside your home, you’ll require a suitable space on a wall or close to the house on the ground. Plenty of surrounding space is essential to ensure proper air circulation.
Our engineers can advise you on the best place for your heat-pump, internally and externally.
In the UK, the primary methods of heat distribution in homes involve using radiators or underfloor heating, collectively known as ‘wet’ heating systems. An advantageous feature of air-to-air heat pumps is their independence from a wet central heating system for home warming.
Air-to-air heat pumps employ either fan coil units (‘blowers’) or air ducting pipes to disperse warm air. Blowers are typically positioned high on the wall, a practical solution in spaces with limited availability. Ducting systems are more commonly integrated into new build properties, with ducts discreetly installed within ceiling voids to minimise visual impact.
These heat pumps come in single-head or multi-head configurations, where ‘head’ signifies the number of blowers in operation. Single-head setups, featuring a sole external unit and a single internal blower, generally suit the smallest homes or single-room heating. For larger spaces with more than two rooms, multi-head systems or ducted setups are typically required
Installing blowers in air-to-air systems is more cost-effective due to the absence of a wet central heating system. Multi-head setups involve pipes connecting the external heat capture unit to each blower, similar to the piping in traditional boilers running to radiators. Typically, these pipes are discreetly housed in slim plastic channels along the upper edges of rooms to maintain an unobtrusive appearance.
The operational costs of your heat pump will depend on its design and usage patterns. Additionally, the impact on your energy bill savings will be influenced by the type of system you’re replacing.
At the moment, there’s little independent data available on the performance of air-to-air systems in the UK, making it challenging to accurately estimate the potential cost savings from their installation. However, we can provide some general guidance on the amount you may save.
