Air Source Heat Pump Installation
There are five stages which occur from the point of your initial enquiry to the final commissioning and your first practical usage of hot water and the heating of your building. The five stages will allow us to specify the optimum Air Source Heat Pump for your building and are listed below.
Stage 1
Call us to discuss your requirements.
Stage 2
Send us your plans and SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) report where possible. If you don't have a SAP report we can arrange it for you. We will then calculate the energy requirement of the building and match that to a Heat Pump solution and provide you with a quote.
Stage 3
We will contact you to discuss your Air Source Heat Pump quote and answer any questions.
Stage 4
Once a decision has been made, we will arrange a site meeting, if required, an order and deposit will be placed and we can install within 4 to 6 weeks subject to your requirements.
Stage 5
The installation is undertaken by our one of our accredited engineers on site over approximately 2 days. When the installation is complete the engineer will go through the operating instructions.

Air Source Heat Pumps also provide hot water from a pressurised system up to temperatures as high as 55°C which is very suitable for all domestic and business requirements. This will require a tank which is specified to the usage requirements of the tenants or usage of the building. The larger the tank the larger the output of water.
In some applications it may be appropriate to couple an Air Source Heat Pump with traditional heating technology to complement the required outputs. All Eco Air Source Heat Pumps which are specified against user (domestic & commercial) requirements do not need any third party boosting system. The outside of a building is where the Fan intake system (outdoor air handling unit) is fixed requiring no annual maintenance. The fan is the only moving part of the outdoor unit which requires no ongoing maintenance.
Air Source Heat Pumps takes energy from the air and raise it to a higher temperature, using a process which is similar to a reverse refrigeration process. For commercial and large spaces a row or bank of Air Source Heat Pumps (Air Handling Units) will be required along with internal Heat Pump and Pressured Hot Water Tank for ongoing water usage. This is a system which utilises no external pipes and most of the working elements reside within the building. The air handling unit draws air across the water-anti freeze solution and transfers this energy into the refrigerant. The refrigerant boils and the gases from this are compressed to produce temperatures in excess of 100°C. This part of the process mirrors a ground source heat pump. Air Source Heat Pumps can be used in many more applications including large commercial projects where land space is restricted. Air Sourced Heat Pumps can be used as a complete solution for room heating using the same distribution system as a ground source heat pump or a traditional system. Air Sourced Heat Pumps are ideal for very tight spaces and within an eco architectural design or within the design of a building which has large internal spaces such as audience halls and public places.
Danfoss Air Source Heat Pumps are unique as they have no major parts outside exposed to the elements, which means that the organs compressor and circulation pumps are all internal. The intake fan is the only feature which is external and kept at optimum working temperature with the support an internal defrost cycle system ensuring 365 day operation in all seasons. The internal defrost system uses the hot water collected by the Air Source heat pump as opposed to direct electric. These types of systems can last in excess of 20 years. The recommended maintenance for the outdoor unit is simply to hose it down once a year. In costal areas this process should be repeated each season. Eco Heat Pumps are the market leader in the design, supply and installation of Air Source Heat Pumps in the UK.
