Air Source Heat Pumps
in Edinburgh & West Lothian
Air source heat pumps absorb heat from the air outside, that can then be used to heat your home via radiators, underfloor heating, or warm air convectors as well as providing hot water.
Air source heat pumps extract heat from the air outside in the same way that a fridge extracts heat from its inside. It can extract heat from the air even when it is as cold as -15° C.

Air source heat pumps work best when producing heat at lower temperatures than conventional boilers, it is crucial that your home is well insulated and draught-proofed for the heating system to be as effective as possible.
What type of heating system will you use?
Air source heat pumps perform better with underfloor heating or warm air heating systems than with radiator-based systems because of the lower water temperatures required.
