Air source heating pros and cons

Air source heat pump is a renewable technology that can make your house more efficient and help reduce electricity bills. Since air source heat pumps do not produce carbon emissions during operation and have a small impact on the environment, they have lower operating costs than gas and oil-fired boilers.


Here, we explain the advantages and disadvantages of air source heat pumps. In order to help you decide whether to buy an air source heat pump.


The 12 advantages of ASHP are:

1. Very low carbon emissions

2. Save electricity bills

3. Compatible with floor heating system

4. Can be used for heating and cooling

5. It can be used for space heating and domestic hot water

6. Can work all year round

7. Seasonal high performance coefficient (COP)

8. Easy installation process

9. Simple maintenance

10. Long life

11. Safe to use

12. Can be driven by wind or solar energy


The 7 disadvantages of ASHP are:

1. Low heat supply

2. Need to replace the radiator

3. The volume is relatively large

4. Lower efficiency when lower than 0°C

5. The house needs to be insulated

6. The operating cost is higher than that of the Class A boiler

7.ASHP is noisy


12 advantages of air source heat pumps

1. Very low carbon emissions

Compared with traditional heating solutions, their carbon footprint is significantly reduced

2. Save electricity bills

When properly installed and sized, the air source heat pump is a cheaper form of heating than oil boilers or LPG boilers. The COP of the air source heat pump is about 3, which means that every 1 kW of electricity put into operation will generate 3 kW of heat.

3. Compatible with floor heating system

The underfloor heating system works best at a lower temperature than the radiator. The hot water produced by the air source heat pump is approximately 1200 degrees Celsius. 45 degrees Celsius is the ideal temperature for floor heating.

4. Can be used for heating and cooling

They can be used not only to provide warmth in winter and colder months of the year, but also to provide cool air in summer and warmer parts of the year.

5. It can be used for space heating and domestic hot water

The heat pump is very convenient, and it has a wide range of uses. It can be used for room heating, hot water heating, swimming pool heating, and house cooling. He can provide 55°C-60°C hot water

6. Can work all year round

Heating in winter and cooling down. You can always use it

7. Seasonal high performance coefficient (COP)

The heat pump draws heat from the air. So it’s more energy efficient in the hot summer

8. Easy installation process

Installation does not require excavation, just find an open location

9. Simple maintenance

They only need to be maintained once a year and cleaned every two months

10. Long life

ASHP has a longer service life than traditional heating systems, up to 20 years.

11. Safe to use

The heat pump is isolated from water and electricity. Very safe, don’t worry about leakage, rest assured to use

12. Can be driven by wind or solar energy

The air source heat pump can be powered by wind or solar energy. It does not need to burn any fuel. You can use it when you have electricity.


The 7 disadvantages of air source heat pumps are:

1. Low heat supply

The air source heat pump only produces a water temperature of about 55°C, while the traditional heating system raises the water temperature to 75-80 minutes.

2. Need to replace the radiator

The air source heat pump only produces a water temperature of about 55°C, and its heating function is not enough. So it is more suitable for playing radiator. Floor heating is the best choice. You need to install floor heating.

3. The volume is relatively large

Compared with electric water heaters and gas water heaters, it will appear larger. The heat pump host is quite large. Find a suitable location for it

4. Lower efficiency when lower than 0°C

Compared with the warmer months of the year, they are not efficient when the temperature drops below 0 degrees Celsius in winter.

5. The house needs to be insulated

In order to maximize energy savings, your house must be adequately insulated

6. The operating cost is higher than that of the Class A boiler

If you have cheap fuel. The operating cost of the heat pump is greatly reduced. (It depends on the area where you are located)

7.ASHP is noisy

Air source heat pumps will produce some noise when they are running, but it must be said that homeowners who live in heat pumps usually think this is not a problem. If you are concerned about potential noise issues, the installer should be able to install the heat pump away from the main living area and bedroom.


The cost of air source heat pump:

When considering the installation of an air source heat pump, two main factors must be considered:


Cost: The cost of installing an air source heat pump is usually between £8,000 and £18,000. Additional costs may be incurred, depending on the type of system selected (whether cooling and heating need to be used together), the size of the house, and your specific requirements. These costs are much lower compared to the price of ground source heat pumps (between £20,000 and £45,000).


The two main factors include the size and type of the property and the amount and type of insulation material contained in the property's walls and roof.


For very large houses, it may sometimes be necessary to combine or cascade 2 heat pumps together to form the correct output required to heat the house.


Then you need to consider the size and key in a new hot water tank and how many radiators to install.
