Under Floor Heating

Heat pumps are distinguished based on the type of heat source they use.

Air source heat pumps use the heat from the ambient air. There are two versions; air-to-water and air-to-air. Air-to-water transfers the absorbed heat to radiators or an underfloor heating and will also provide hot water. Air-to-air heat pumps transfer the heat to a fan installation that serves to heat the house.

Ground source heat pumps use the environmental heat stored in the ground. They can only be used in combination with a water-based heat distribution system (radiators or underfloor heating) and therefore are called brine-to-water heat pumps.

Water-to-water heat pumps use the heat contained in the groundwater. Water source heat pump systems are ideal for homeowners that have a suitable water source onsite, such as a lake, river or stream.
