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. ## Advantages of air-to-water heat pumps - **Save money:** an air-to-water heat pump can significantly reduce your overall heating costs in the long run. - **Hot water:** heated water can be stored in a cylinder, so your heat pump covers hot water too, not just heating. - **Heating and cooling:** use your radiators to heat your home in winter, and cool indoor units in summer, so it works year-round. - **Longevity:** air-to-water heat pumps have a long lifespan, and once installed they require little upkeep or maintenance. - **Increase property value:** switching from an older heating system can raise your BER rating — a national SEAI analysis of almost 50,000 home sales found each BER grade improvement added an average 2.7% to the final sale price. - **Environmentally friendly:** investing in a heat pump lowers your carbon footprint by using renewable energy instead of fossil fuels. ## How much do air-to-water heat pumps cost? Air-to-water heat pumps cost between €12,000 and €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. SEAI offers €6,500 towards your heat pump. Depending on your home, you could get up to €12,500 in total support. 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.

Choosing an air-to-water heat pump for your heating and hot water needs offers energy efficiency, versatility, and the potential for significant savings on your energy bills. These systems harness ambient air to provide reliable and eco-friendly heating, making them a sustainable choice for your home or business. You can use your heat pump year round, as the ambient temperature outside your home can be turned into heated or cooled water to provide you with heating in colder months whilst being able to cool you through indoor units during summer. Can an air-to-water heat pump give me hot water from my tap? Yes, air-to-water heat pumps can store warm water in a hot water cylinder, like a conventional boiler does, this means your heat pump can be used for hot showers, baths, or doing the dishes. ## What you can compare with Heatpump.ie A cheaper quote isn't always the better one.
