- What is an air source heat pump (ASHP)?
ASHPs transfer heat between outdoor and indoor air for heating or cooling, making them versatile systems for residential or commercial spaces.
- How do air source heat pumps work?
They extract heat from outdoor air for heating and reverse the process for cooling, offering energy-efficient solutions for both functions.
- Are air source heat pumps energy-efficient?
Yes, ASHPs are known for their efficiency, producing more heating or cooling energy than the electricity they consume, resulting in lower operating costs.
- Can air source heat pumps be used in cold climates?
Modern ASHPs are designed for cold climates, though efficiency may decrease in extremely low temperatures, potentially requiring supplementary heating.
- Are there incentives for installing air source heat pumps?
Many governments and utilities offer incentives or rebates to promote the adoption of energy-efficient technologies, making ASHPs an attractive choice for consumers.
