What is an air-source heat pump?
Air source heat pumps (also known as air-to water heat pumps) transfer heat from outside air to the water. The heat is then transferred to your home’s rooms via underfloor or radiator heating. The hot water can be heated in a cylinder to heat your showers, baths and hot taps.
What is a heat pump that uses ground-source energy?
The ground source heat pumps transfer heat from outside to your home’s radiators and underfloor heating. It can also be used to heat the water in a hot-water cylinder for use with your showers and taps. Thermal transfer fluid, also known as brine or water-antifreeze mixture, flows through a loop of pipe that is buried in the garden. The heat from the earth is absorbed by the mixture and then passed through a heat-exchanger to the heat pump.
