What is an air pump heating system?


An air pump heating system is a type of heating system that uses air to heat up a building. This type of heating system is more environmentally friendly and efficient than other types of heating systems. It also doesn't produce any harmful or toxic fumes for your staff or customers to breathe in. Air Heat pumps are a system that works by pumping heat from one place to another. By using a compressor and a structure which circulates either liquid or gas refrigerant, heat from outside is extracted and pumped inside the desired area. This system can also be reversed so that in hotter months the pump can be used as an air conditioner. Air pumps have become one of the most efficient alternatives to electric, fuel and oil systems in terms of heating and cooling pumps. The efficiency of this system can reach up to 300% with it being able to supply more heating and cooling power than the amount of electricity used to run it.


There are many advantages and disadvantages to having heat pump heaters installed but it is important to consider them all before making your decision.

Air source heat pump advantages include:

  • The cost to run an air pump heater is much cheaper than the price for fuel or electricity. This can make it very attractive in comparison!

In addition, the by-products of these conversions are much less environmentally harmful than those released through traditional fossil fuel usage and can provide a cost effective method for reducing your company’s carbon emissions while also saving money!
  • Air heat pumps are a much safer option for combustion systems than gas or oil-based ones.
