When people hear air-to-air heat pumps, they often think of one thing: air conditioning.
But the reality is these systems are one of the most versatile, efficient and flexible home comfort solutions available – and they work all year round.
At Gregor Renewables, we install air-to-air heat pumps in homes across Bristol and Bath, and many homeowners are surprised by just how much they can do.
What is an Air-to-Air Heat Pump?
An air-to-air heat pump transfers heat from outside air to inside your home (and vice versa). It works alongside your existing heating system, so it doesn’t matter what you already have installed – gas boiler, oil, electric or heat pump, and most houses and flats are suitable.
If a home isn’t suitable, we’ll always tell you honestly. No pressure, no upselling, just straightforward advice.
Cooling: Comfortable Homes During British Summers
We all know our summers are getting hotter, and when a heatwave hits, homes can become uncomfortable fast. Which can cause problems when working from home or sleeping at night.
Air-to-air heat pumps allow you to:
- Keep key rooms cool and comfortable
- Escape the worst of the heat during the day
- Sleep better at night with cooler bedrooms
- Keep pets safe and comfortable while you’re out at work
Got solar panels?
When paired with solar PV, running costs during high-generation periods can be very low, sometimes close to nothing.
Heating: Smart, Efficient Warmth in Colder Months
Air-to-air heat pumps aren’t just for summer, they’re incredibly useful in winter too.
Homeowners love them because they:
- Heat individual rooms without firing up the whole house
- Warm spaces quickly thanks to fast-reacting technology
- Provide a reliable backup heat source if your central heating fails
All making them ideal for home offices, bedrooms, extensions or garden rooms.
They give you flexibility, comfort and peace of mind all year round.
And that’s not all…
Fan Mode: Fresh, Balanced Air
Sometimes you don’t need heating or cooling, just better air movement.
When you use the fan mode it:
- Circulates air to keep rooms feeling fresh
- Helps balance temperatures throughout the space
- Improves comfort without additional energy use.
De-humidifier Mode: Quietly Solving Everyday Problems
Air-to-air heat pumps also act as powerful de-humidifiers, helping tackle common UK household issues.
Perfect if you struggle with:
- Condensation on windows
- Drying washing indoors during winter
- Damp or mould-prone rooms
By removing excess moisture from the air, these systems help create a healthier, more comfortable home, especially during long, wet winters.
How much do they cost?
A basic single room unit starts at £1500 – depending on the style you want and the scope of the job. Running costs vary depending on what you’re using it for, but they have the same efficiency ranges as air to water heat pumps of around 300%
