Air Source Heat Pumps in Kent
Discover the incredible efficiency of air source heat pumps. Reliable, low-cost heating and hot water for your Kent property.
Harnessing the Power of Ambient Air
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) are the most popular and versatile renewable heating solution in the UK. They offer a brilliant balance of incredible efficiency, straightforward installation, and exceptional reliability. An ASHP unit sits neatly outside your property, quietly drawing in ambient air using a large, acoustically engineered fan. The system extracts the natural thermal energy present in that air, passes it through a refrigerant circuit to amplify the temperature, and then transfers this high-grade heat into your home. At CPSL Kent, we install only the most advanced, market-leading ASHP models renowned for their durability and high Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP).
Precision Engineering for Maximum Output
The success of an ASHP installation rests entirely on the quality of the system design. A heat pump is not a 'plug and play' appliance. Our engineers meticulously calculate the exact heat loss of your building to specify a unit that is perfectly sized—neither struggling to heat the home nor excessively cycling on and off. We ensure the outdoor unit is positioned to maximise airflow while strictly adhering to permitted development noise regulations. Inside the property, we design the hydraulic pipework to minimise resistance, ensuring the water flows smoothly to your radiators or underfloor heating at the optimal low temperatures required for maximum efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should the outdoor unit be placed?
It needs good airflow and should be placed on a solid base. We usually site it against an external wall, adhering to boundary noise regulations to ensure it does not disturb you or neighbours.
Will I need a bigger hot water cylinder?
Yes. Because ASHPs heat water more gradually than gas boilers, we install a highly insulated, larger unvented cylinder with a massive internal coil designed specifically for heat pump use.
