Installing an Air Source heat pump

How do air source heat pumps work?

Air source heat pumps or ASHP work by extracting heat from the air outside your home, even when it’s cold. The air passes over an evaporator filled with a refrigerant material which turns from a liquid to a gas when heated. The gas then goes through a compressor increasing the pressure within, raising the temperature. The final step involves heat exchange from the gas to the home’s heating systems which is then used to heat water based radiators or hot water cylinders.

Installing an air source heat pump in an older building?

In March, Josh who is an experienced member of the team led the install of an air source heat pump at a unique but dated old cottage. During the renovation project, there were a number of hurdles and challenges to get through. A great deal of planning is essential, especially when mapping out arrangements for tidy pipework.

When working on older properties like this particular one in Cheltenham, we had a few concerns when it came to how to manipulate the larger units and maneuver them into smaller spaces within the cottage. Experience has taught the team to dismantle components and reconstruct against a solid wall.

We’re incredibly proud of the flawless finish, precise detail and craftsmanship demonstrated by Josh during this project.
