How Air Source Heat Pumps Work

Air source heat pumps might sound modern, but the technology is well established. They work much like a refrigerator in reverse, drawing warmth from the air outside and transferring it into your home. Even in winter, they can extract heat from the air and use it to power your central heating and hot water.

This technology has been around for decades and is widely used in cold-weather countries like Sweden, where heat pumps have become a standard solution thanks to their reliability, energy efficiency, and ability to function in low temperatures.

Key Benefits of Air Source Heat Pumps

  • Lower running costs compared to traditional electric or oil systems
  • Suitable for most types of properties
  • Works year-round, even in cold weather
  • Eligible for government grants and funding
  • Future-proof and environmentally friendly

If your home already uses radiators or underfloor heating, it can likely be adapted for use with a heat pump. Our team will assess your current system and recommend the right setup.

Ground Source vs Air Source: What to Know

Ground source heat pump comparison

Ground source heat pumps offer excellent efficiency but are usually only practical in certain situations. They require either long trenches or a vertical borehole to be drilled, which adds significant cost and disruption.

For that reason, ground source is best suited to:

  • New-build developments
  • Housing estates with shared heating infrastructure
  • Rural properties with open land available

For the majority of existing homes and businesses in Colchester, an air source heat pump is the simpler, more cost-effective choice.

Combine Your Heat Pump with Solar Panels

Electricity powers your heat pump, so what if that electricity came from your roof?

By installing solar panels alongside your heat pump, you can dramatically reduce or even eliminate your heating running costs. When both systems are working together, you are generating clean energy and using it to heat your home, all without relying heavily on the grid.

Even better, if we install both systems at the same time, Gasway can offer a reduced cost on your overall project, saving you money upfront as well as every month on your energy bills.

Even better we have a great offer on solar panels at the moment, check out the best solar package we have ever made.
