What is A Domestic Heat Pump?

A heat pump captures heat from outside and moves it into your home. It uses electricity to do this. However, the quantity of heat delivered into your home is greater than the quantity of electricity used to power the system.

The air source heat pump is installed on your property to utilise the ground source pumps paired together; the pipes below ground can extract a low-temperature natural heat that is then brought to the air source heat pumps and warmed in a way that can heat your property.

This heating system then allows you to distribute the heating to wherever it is needed; whether it is for radiators, hot water tanks or your underfloor heating, it provides renewable energy for your home.

Get in touch with our team for full details on what heat pump systems are available in Ilford and London.

How Do Heat Pumps work?

As a heat pump captures heat already in the environment, the system emits no carbon dioxide emissions. Making it a renewable energy source.


Air Source Heat Pump (Air-to-water Pumps)

Air-to-water heat pumps take heat from the outside air and feed it into your wet central heating system; with a correctly positioned air source heat pump, you will feel the heat and watch your energy bills reduce!

They are most suitable for larger radiators or water underfloor heating because their heat is colder than a conventional gas or oil boiler. The air source heat pumps produce much heat but at a lower temperature.

They need a large surface area to release the heat most effectively. It is more straightforward to incorporate larger radiators or under-floor heating for a heat pump while you're extending your home or in a new-build property. It can also cost less than retrofitting underfloor heating later on.

Air-to-water heat pumps qualify for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) - which will provide upfront capital grants to support the installation of heat pumps and will be open to properties in England and Wales.

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Source Heat Pumps


Air-to-water heat pumps are suitable for many homes and are the most common type of domestic heat pump, with tens of thousands of installations across the UK. However, you should consider a few things before deciding whether a heat pump is right for you.

You'll need a place outside your home where a unit can be fitted to a wall or placed on the ground. It must have some space around it to allow good airflow.

There are two types of air-to-water heat pumps: monobloc and split systems. A monobloc system has all the components in a single outdoor unit, with pipes carrying water to the central heating system and a hot water cylinder inside your home. A split system separates the components between indoor and outdoor units. Whether a monobloc or split system is right depends on your budget and available space.

Monobloc systems are cheaper and quicker to install and don't take up as much space in your home, although they are generally slightly less efficient than split systems. The efficiency gain from split systems comes from some heat transfer occurring inside the building where it is warmer than outside.

If you are not limited by space inside your home, installing a split system may be worth the extra cost. Your installer should be able to talk you through your options and help you choose the design that works best for you.

The external unit for a heat pump is identical for both monobloc and split heat pumps. Noise is created by large fans moving air across the heat exchanger.

Unless the heat pump is working very hard (i.e. in cold weather or producing high-temperature water), you can expect the noise to be a similar volume to a fridge if you are standing within a couple of metres. You could easily hold a normal conversation next to it without raising your voice. As it gets colder outside, this noise will increase in volume while it's operating but should still allow you to hold a conversation easily, only raising your voice a little.

The inside unit for a split system only contains valves and pumps and makes very little noise.

Most homes in the UK use radiators or underfloor heating to circulate hot water – this is referred to as a 'wet' system. Air-to-water heat pumps need a wet system.

If you don't currently have a wet system, you will have to decide whether you'd like to install one. This is an excellent opportunity to ensure the wet system is optimised for a heat pump, resulting in lower running costs.

Don't want or can't install a wet heating system? An air-to-air heat pump could work for you.

A standard heat pump can't provide hot water on demand like a combi boiler, so you will need a way of storing hot water when you need it. The size of the hot water cylinder will depend on the amount of hot water your household typically uses. Still, the cylinder can usually be fitted inside any cupboard that measures around 80x80cm.
Running costs will depend on how your heat pump is designed and operated. Savings on your energy bill will also be affected by the system you are replacing.

Daikin Logo   The Quintessence Of A Heat Pump

Daikin Altherma 3 H HT is an investment in comfort and energy savings. This air-to-water heat pump delivers heating, cooling and instant hot water—and uses less energy.

This system is ideal for homeowners who want to upgrade their boiler or traditional heating system to a greener and more cost-effective solution.

One Solution - Multiple Combinations

The range includes one outdoor unit compatible with three award-winning indoor units, all of which can be customised to deliver heating, cooling and domestic hot water.

What Is Excellent Inside Should Look Great Outside…

Clean, minimal and uncomplicated is the best way to describe the Daikin Altherma 3 H HT outdoor unit. A black horizontal grille covers the entire front plate to hide the single fan and reduce its operational sound.

At the same time, the matte grey finish reflects the colour of the exterior wall to help the unit blend into different environments and landscapes.


Beat The Cold

The Daikin Altherma 3 H HT is a renewable heating solution that performs just as well in colder climates as in warm climates. Compared to other heating systems, this range uses outdoor air to deliver the correct heat and hot water capacity, even in temperatures as low as - 28°C.


Silence Is Comfort

When operating in Standard Sound Mode, the sound pressure level of the outdoor unit is 38 dBA (at 3 meters)—that’s somewhere between birds chirping and a quiet library. On Low Sound Mode, the sound pressure is reduced to half (35 dBA at 3 meters).

Choose The Indoor Unit To Run Your Central Heating System

Discover the three indoor units that are part of this range and the three different settings (Three features) you can choose from to tailor the range to meet your climate needs.
