What Is an Air Source Heat Pump?
An air source heat pump is the means through which heat is absorbed from the outside air and used to heat both the property and your hot water supplies. Even when outside temperatures are low, air source heat pumps can extract warm air and work to convert it into heat for your buildings.Â
Their efficient running will result in lower energy bills and the potential for lower carbon emissions, depending on which existing fuel you are replacing.Â

How Do Air Source Heat Pumps Work?
Air source heat pumps work by extracting warmth from the air outside and using it to heat your property and your water supply.
A commercial air source heat pump looks like a large air conditioning unit outside the building. It has a coil filled with refrigerant fluid and a fan that blows air over the coil. The liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the outside air across that coil, causing it to evaporate into a gas. The gas is then compressed which raises its temperature. It is then pumped into another coil inside the building, where the heat is released and absorbed by the indoor air – thereby heating your property.
Benefits of a Commercial Air Source Heat Pump for Your Business
Installing an air source heat pump in commercial buildings can make a big impact, bringing numerous benefits, such as:
- Lower energy costs – This is an energy-efficient heating method that can reduce your gas or energy bills. Heat pumps and heat recovery units are popular options for making long-term savings.
- Reduced carbon footprint and emissions –Â Air source heat pumps help commercial businesses to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, which in turn reduces harmful carbon emissions.
- Improved comfort levels – Heat pump systems can provide a steadier and more comfortable temperature than other heating methods, such as boilers.
- Low maintenance – Once installed, air source heat pumps are relatively simple to maintain, especially when serviced on a regular basis
- Government grants – The UK government has introduced an air source heat pump commercial buildings grant called the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS). It will cover up to £7,500 of the cost of replacing fossil fuel heaters with a heat pump or biomass boiler.
At Robinsons Facilities Services, we’ll work with you to identify and install the ideal air source heat pump for your business. Our professional team can also maintain and repair existing heat pumps.

Commercial Air Source Heat Pump FAQs
For a lot of businesses, an air source heat pump can be an excellent modernisation. It can also be a great way to save money and improve your carbon emissions in comparison to gas heating systems.
Though not a huge problem most of the year, some air source heat pumps may experience icing on very cold days, meaning they require more electricity to achieve the same results.
Heat pumps are commonly integrated with underfloor systems but they can also be used with traditional radiators to heat your commercial space or a combination of underfloor and radiator heaters.
It is possible to save between 25-40% on your heating needs if you switch to an air source heat pump, depending on the model of the boiler.
The costs vary based on size, models, features, etc. but you can typically expect to pay in the region of £5,000 – £30,000+ for installation. Contact us for professional advice and support today.
Commercial heat pumps can heat spaces up to tens of thousands of square feet depending on the unit specifications.
