"Air to air heat pumps operate in a similar way to a fridge," explains Hamid Salimi, residential product manager at Daikin UK. "They absorb energy from the outside air and, by compressing refrigerant, they convert this into a gas. This energy is finally transferred into the air for space heating." He emphasizes the efficiency, stating, "This system is much more efficient than traditional heating systems and relies on electricity."
Air to air heat pumps are not that common in the UK. Where they are used, they tend to be installed in smaller properties, flats and mobile homes in mobile home parks. However, they are used more frequently in mainland Europe, given that they can also be used to provide cooling air, which is often needed in southern European countries where the climate is warmer.
While air to air heat pumps are primarily focused on heating, they can also cool the home, indicating their versatility. This flexibility makes them particularly valuable in regions that experience both cold and hot weather.
