An air source heat pump (ASHP) is an energy-efficient heating system that harnesses ambient air to provide heating and hot water for your home. It operates by extracting heat from the outside air, even in cold temperatures, and transferring it indoors using a refrigeration cycle. The system typically involves an outdoor unit that captures the heat and an indoor unit that distributes the warmth throughout your living space.
