title: 'Air source heat pumps that heat water'
description: 'Introduction  Air source heat pumps use a cycle of condensation and evaporation to transfer heat from the air to a desired location. The units are extremely efficient and produce very little emissions compared to their alternatives. The system can be used in conjunction with other more traditional applications to provide a constant source of warm water and air. There are two types of air source heat pump systems used nowadays: 1) Air to water heat pump: It distributes heat via a wet central heating system, transferring heat and providing hot water. 2) Air to air heat pump: It produces heat by using fans to circulate outside air into your home, as to provide warmth.'
