Air source heat pumps

Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are an increasingly popular choice for heating hot tubs and swim spas, offering an energy-efficient alternative to traditional heating methods. These systems work by extracting heat from the ambient air and transferring it to the water.

One of the primary advantages of air source heat pumps is their efficiency. According to the Department of Energy, ASHPs can achieve a coefficient of performance (COP) of 16 , meaning for every 1kw of power it can produce 16kw of heat.  A standard hot tub heater has a COP of 1 (1kw in 1kw out) This efficiency translates into lower operational costs, which can be particularly beneficial for users who frequently utilize their hot tubs or swim spas.

In terms of environmental impact, air source heat pumps are a more sustainable option compared to gas or electric heaters. By utilizing renewable energy from the air, they can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Studies indicate that switching to an ASHP can reduce carbon emissions by up to 50% compared to conventional heating methods.
