An air source heat pump is a more sustainable option than oil or gas heating and it uses the electricity more efficiently than other heating systems. So overall, it's a more energy efficient solution to heating your home.

Forced-air is the most popular heating system because it's cost-effective and can use the same ductwork as your air conditioning system. Other heating systems, such as a heat pump or a radiator distribution system such as a boiler, are not as popular because they're expensive to install and maintain.

Air-source heat pumps are one of the most energy efficient HVAC systems available in 2024. They provide both heating and air conditioning in one system, making them a great option for year-round climate control.

Efficient: The efficiency of any type of air source heat pump is measured with the Coefficient of Performance (CoP). The CoP of air to air source heat pumps typically ranges from 2.5 to 4. A CoP of 4, for instance, means that the heat pump produces 4 units of heat energy for every 1 unit of electricity it consumes.
