An air source heat pump extracts heat from the outside air in the same way that a fridge extracts heat from its inside. They can extract heat from the air even when the outside temperature is a low as minus 15 degree centigrade therefore making them extremely attractive in the UK. There are two main types of air source heat pump systems, they are air to water and air to air. Air to water distributes heat through your home via a wet central heating system either through using larger than normal radiators or by using an underfloor heating system. An air to air system produces warm air which is circulated by fans.
