How does an air-to-water heat pump work?
An air-to-water heat pump works by transferring heat between the indoor and outdoor air using a refrigerant cycle, the heat produced is absorbed into a fluid.
The fluid goes through a heat exchanger, raising the temperature and finally transferring the heat to water which is distributed through radiators or underfloor pipes in your home.

How much do air-to-water heat pumps cost?
Air-to-water heat pumps cost between €12,000 - €18,000, depending on the heat pump you choose. This is the average total cost for both the heat pump hardware itself and the installation work carried out by a contractor.
Grants are available for air-to-water heat pumps from the Sustainable Energy Authority Ireland (SEAI) which can save you money on your heat pump cost and installation.
The grants are based on building type. For apartments, SEAI offers up to €4,500 in grant value. Homeowners of semi-detached, end of terrace, and detached homes can get up to €6,500.
As air-to-water heat pumps can heat your home through underfloor heating, many people are opting to install the pipes for this. This will incur higher costs and more work to be undertaken. Once this work is completed, you can enjoy heated flooring throughout your home.
Depending on the age of your property, your home or business may need to undergo additional work to absorb all the benefits of a heat pump, such as insulating your roof, double glazing your windows, or upgrading your radiators.
