How Does a Heatpump Work? Heatpumps have a system of pipes that contain refrigerant, like a fridge. This gas is compressed in the external unit (B). This makes it hot. Air is then passed over the coils and transported to the interior unit where it is passed over more hot coils and then released to warm your house. Gas is then returned to the outside unit where it expands and runs through finned coils and becomes cold. The cold gas is recompressed and the cycle continues. For summer cooling the refrigerant flow is reversed so the interior becomes cool.

What Makes A Heatpump Efficient? Heatpumps shift more heat than electrical energy consumed in compressing the refrigerant and running the fans, making them highly efficient methods of heating (or cooling) – up to 5 times as much.
How Does A Hot Water Heatpump Work? It works like a reverse fridge and uses electricity to operate. The free heat is extracted from the ambient air, upgraded with the compressor and then pumped to the interior unit, which then heats the water.
Which heatpump do I need? You could use our heatpump calculator to determine the kilowatt output of the heatpump you need. Or you can contact HAS for a free quotation.
