+ Air Source Heat Pumps

Living in central London, the only heat pump that Staunch and Flow recommends is the Air to water heat pump.

Take the latent heat out of the atmosphere to heat your home.

Air source heat pumps remove the heat from the atmosphere. This in turn is used to heat your under floor system, radiators or air convectors as well as the hot water in your home.

How do air source heat pumps work

Air source heat pumps create heat the same way as a bicycle pump creates heat. If you put your thumb over the end off a bicycle pump. When you apply pressure on the pump, your thumb will start to burn under the heat produced. This is the same way a fridge works but in reverse. The air source heat pump will still work in temperatures down to –15.

Heat pumps do need some electricity to work. However it is only a small pump. This is nothing like the energy used in a conventional boiler.

Unlike gas or oil boilers, heat pumps deliver heat at lower temperatures over much longer periods. Thus in the winter they might have to be on 24/7. This has two major effects:

  • Your heating is on all the time. It is very unnatural for the body to change temperatures all the time, as with conventional heating. This is most noticeable on winter mornings when a sudden change of temperature can wake people up. It is much more natural for the house to be at a constant temperature of 19 – 21.
  • As a consequence of the temperature being much lower, the radiator temperature is also much lower. This is fine and happens because the heat output from your radiators has been designed to be of a certain temperature output. As a result larger radiators may need to be installed to compensate. Under floor heating is ideal for Air source heat pumps which give out heat at lower temperatures over longer periods of time, as well as fan assisted heat convectors.
  • Lower fuel bills than Gas, Oil and especially if you are using conventional electric heating.

The benefits of Air source heat pumps

  • It will reduce your carbon footprint.
  • No fuel deliveries required. As the air is the heat source.
  • As apposed to a conventional boiler. A heat pump has very little moving parts. So very little to go wrong and very little to maintain.

Is an air source heat pump suitable for my home? And how much will all this work cost

To tell if an air source heat pump is right for you, there are a few key questions to consider:

  • Do you have a garden to put it in?
  • Is your house well insulated?
  • What sort of radiators / under floor heating do you have?

Costs for installing a typical system in a three-bedroom house range from about £7,000 to £11,000 including installation.

To reduce your home’s CO2 emissions further, consider using solar heating to provide low carbon hot water in the summer months.

The team at Staunch & Flow are the best I have used for all plumbing, heating and building work. They are polite, friendly and honest when it comes to quoting work. Their execution is first class, high quality and fast. I was clear on what was happening throughout the whole process and was very impressed with the work and finish. I cant recommend them highly enough.

Our Aga stopped working on Saturday and our normal service man couldn't see us until next week.. without any other way of cooking that is not what I wanted to hear.Calling S&F at 8:15 this morning I was not expecting a reply, but not only did I get a reply I was assured that at 3pm TODAY someone would be with me.Returning to my house at 2:50 the van was already there, the guys could not have been more friendly and helpful.. and most importantly very knowledgeable about the Aga and had it working again in 30 minutes.To top this off they did a number of tests on the flu and and sure the whole Aga was in good working condition.Impressed only starts to describe my thoughts.. we will be using S&F for all our Aga and Boiler work.. and plan to see what else they can do for us as well.Definitely would recommend S&F.
