How do heat pumps work?

An air source heat pump (ASHP) works by extracting heat from the air outside and transferring it into your home – even when it’s cold outside. Here’s a simple breakdown of how it works:

Heat absorption

The pump contains a refrigerant liquid. A fan draws in outside air, and the refrigerant absorbs heat from this air.

Compression

The refrigerant, now warmed, passes through a compressor. This compresses the refrigerant, raising its temperature even further.

Heat exchange

The hot refrigerant transfers its heat to your home’s heating system – radiators, underfloor heating or water tank via a heat exchanger.

Cycle repeats

After releasing its heat, the refrigerant cools down, turns back into a liquid and the cycle repeats.

Key points:

  • Works efficiently in low temperatures (even down to -15°C)
  • Uses electricity to move heat, not to create it
  • Can be used for heating rooms and hot water
  • Typically delivers 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used

Air source heat pump FAQs

Why choose a heat pump?
  • Up to 300% efficient — delivers more energy than it consumes
  • Reduces carbon emissions compared to gas boilers
  • Potentially lower running costs (especially with renewables)
  • Can be powered by solar PV for even greater savings
Is my home suitable?

Heat pumps are suitable for all property types and ages (as confirmed by the Energy Saving Trust). You may require planning permission, so we recommend checking with your local authority first. At Crown Energy, we can help you assess your options and manage the whole installation process for you.

Do I need to keep my gas supply?

Not if you switch entirely to electric. If you wish, we can arrange your gas disconnection. You can learn more on our dedicated gas disconnections page for more information.

Are heat pumps noisy?

Not at all – they operate at around 42 decibels, similar to a household fridge.

Can I pair my heat pump with solar panels?

Absolutely – we offer a full installation service for solar PV systems too, meaning you can have everything handled by one provider. Visit our dedicated solar PV system page for more information.
