An air source heat pump that works in an air-to-water heat pump system provides an efficient way of heating as well as cooling residential homes and businesses. However, it is imperative that the intensification cost differential, such as installation, be grasped before making the switch. In this guide, the factors affecting the cost of air-to-water heat pumps, cost of installation and comparison with a conventional heating system shall be discussed.
The cost of an air to water heat pump will also depend on certain aspects such as the size of the property, the type and the relative complication of the installation. Air source heat pumps are normally slightly more expensive to install than conventional gas or oil boilers, but the operating costs are half that of any other system.
| Home Size | Air-to-Water Heat Pump (kW) | Installation Cost (€) | Traditional Heating System (€) |
| 50-100 | 4-6 | 8,000-10,000 | 6,000-8,000 |
| 100-150 | 6-8 | 10,000-12,000 | 8,000-10,000 |
| 150-200 | 8-10 | 12,000-15,00 | 10,000-12,000 |
| 200-250 | 10-12 | 15,000-18,000 | 12,000-15,000 |
| 250-300 | 12-15 | 18,000-20,000 | 15,000-18,000 |

There is a high initial cost of air-to-water heat pumps but the advantages such a solution provides in terms of energy efficient and the reduction of carbon footprint over a longer time period make such a decision reasonable. The size of a property, the complexity of an installation, comparative costs to traditional forms of heating and can all help to make this decision one that best suits the needs and wants of a home or business.
