Are Air Source Heat Pumps Ideal for Large Homes & Commercial Properties?

Two important factors worth considering when it comes to heating and cooling larger homes and commercial properties are energy efficiency and environmental impact. Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) tick both boxes. Is this enough to say that they are ideal for larger spaces?

Yes, ASHPs are certainly a perfect solution for larger homes and commercial properties. As you read on, you’ll discover exactly why you can trust them for your space.

Understanding how air source heat pumps work

ASHPs work by extracting heat from the outside air during the winter months and pumping that heat into your indoor space, this is why they are called heat pumps. With the help of hydronic radiator panels and hydronic fan coils, air source heat pumps can also provide hydronic heating and cooling solutions.

The reverse is the working principle during the summer months. Instead of extracting heat outdoors, air-source heat pumps work by removing heat from your home’s indoor space and rejecting that heat outdoor though your heat pump. This approach helps to keep your home cool all day long.

Here’s why air-source heat pumps are ideal for large properties

1. Scalable solutions

   Modern air source heat pump systems are designed to provide scalable heating and cooling solutions. As such, you can always expect them to work for homes of different sizes.

   If you’re currently looking to heat or cool your larger home today, you may need to invest in multiple units. This installation approach will accommodate your needs and ensure optimal coverage.

   Another effective approach is the use of advanced zoning options. This allows different areas of your home to get heated or cooled independently.

2. High energy efficiency

   One thing about heating or cooling large properties is that more energy will be consumed. However, with a coefficient of performance (COP) of4 - 5, hydronic heat pumps can produce more energy than your property consumes. A COP of 5 means the system can produce five times the energy it consumes, making it highly efficient. This efficiency leads to a significant reduction in your energy bills, regardless of your property size, providing substantial long-term savings.

3. Cost-effectiveness

   There’s no denying that it costs a lot upfront to set up your air source heat pump system. But you should understand that this setup comes with better long-term savings. Unlike conventional systems, ASHPs help to reduce the costs of running heat and cooling systems in your large property. This translates to long-term savings and low energy bills.

4. Space-saving solutions

   As effective as ground-source heat pumps are, they have their issues. One of them is that you need extensive land to install your system. Air source heat pumps address this issue because they’re compact and can be installed on external walls or placed on the ground in your outdoor space.

If you have a large home or commercial property that lacks enough outdoor space, then ASHPs are certainly the perfect systems worth investing in.
