Heat Pumps
An air source heat pump looks similar to an air conditioning unit and is a low carbon way of heating your home. It takes existing heat from outside and uses it to increase the temperature inside.
Depending on how much heat they'll need to generate, they vary in size as the more heat required, the bigger the heat pump. There are two main types: air to air and air to water, both working in different ways and compatible with different types of heating systems.
