Underfloor heating is a great partner to an air source heat pump. The efficiency of an air source heat pump means that you can run the system cooler making it less cost to operate.

When these systems are designed and installed correctly, underfloor heating can run at very low temperatures making them perfect for all UK homes.

How does underfloor heating work with air source heat pumps?

Underfloor heating systems have a large heat emitter area, compared to a traditional radiator which only has one or two metres on your wall. Heat emitters are about the difference in temperature between the emitter itself and the desired room temperature. Traditional radiators work hard to maintain required room temperature levels compared to underfloor heating due to this heat coverage.

As a renewable heating solution, an air source heat pump is powered by electricity and draws heat from the outside air. Heat from the air is absorbed at low temperature into a fluid. This fluid then passes through a compressor where its temperature is increased, and transfers its higher temperature heat to the heating and hot water circuits of the house.

This technology will minimise energy usage, whilst providing effective warmth all year round. An air source heat pump is good for the environment and doesn’t compromise your comfort. Not only that but you will find that your utility bills reduce signinficantly.

Air source heat pumps work particularly well with underfloor heating because they are at their most efficient when producing low water temperatures.
