Air Source Heat Pumps

Air source heat pumps work like the air conditioning systems but they function in a different way, as they can both heat and cool the air and they are also proficient in heating water.

it does not only heat air, but also the water
it runs on an electric scheme, so the possible danger of using a flammable fuel being utilized for heating
as a result of several moving parts, the costs of the maintaining are very low, regardless of the way the outdoors heat exchangers are kept free from debris
weight against a resistant heater, an air source heat pump only uses from 1/3 to ¼ of the quantity of electricity for the same heat production, and this largely decreases the price of utility bills
they work great in the summer, as they cool the air, and also in the winter as they produce heat
it is usually installed with auxiliary heat meaning in case the pumps requires repairing, it can still supply a source of heat

from the environmental point of view, it contributes to the global warming by running on electricity
the air source heat pump is marketed as a sustainable tool and a low energy, but it is worth mentioning that there are possibilities for causing global warming, if the refrigerant from the system should leak
its condenser unit has a need of a large outside space
if it is utilized with a traditional healing system such as a retrofit radiator, and it turns out to be difficult, an healing system needs to be installed under the floor as an alternative

All in all, the air source heat systems offer low price heating that can supply four times more heat than an electric resistance heater.
