How does an Air Source Heat Pump Hereford work?
An Air Source Heat Pump Hereford works by using a liquid refrigerant that absorbs heat from the outside air. It is then compressed to increase its temperature. The hot refrigerant gas then passes through a pressure value into the heat exchanger coils that are inside your Hereford home. The gas then condenses back into a liquid and transfers heat into the air of your home or water system. The cool liquid refrigerant returns to the outside heat exchanger coils where the process starts all over again.

There are 2 types of Air Source Heat Pump Hereford, and these are air-to-water and air-to-air. Air-to-water will transfer the heat from the outside air to your central heating system whereas air-to-air will go into your home through fans.
