Is a Heat Pump Right For Me?
Find out if an Air Source Heat Pump is right for your home.
Ground and Air Source Heat Pumps
In many situations, a ground or air source heat pump is a more efficient and cost-effective way to heat your home.
This is especially true if your home is currently heated with oil or gas, and even more so if your system is over 12 years old.
Air source heat pumps are suited to most domestic properties but there will be plenty of time during your home survey to discuss which option will be best for you and our team are also experts in traditional heating systems and we will advise you on all options so you can make the best decision for you.
What are the advantages of Air Source Heat Pump systems?
Reduce Energy Bills
Heat Pumps generate most of the energy that they require from the environment around them, helping to lower overall running costs and energy bills.
No Emissions
Heat pumps produce no emissions and are therefore much more environmentally friendly than traditional heating systems.
Efficient Operations
Due to the way in which heat pumps generate their heat, they are incredibly efficient, even in very cold temperatures.
Sustainable
The utilisation of natural energy sources means the approach to heating and hot water production is particularly sustainable.
Flexible
Heat pumps work particularly well with both radiators and underfloor heating with low surface temperatures.
System Compatible
A heat pump works excellently as part of a climate-controlled system within the home, and integrates easily with a range of controls, including smart home accessories.
Long Service Life
Modern heat pump units have life expectancies which are on average double that of a typical domestic boiler, with boilers typically expected to last around 10-12 years, and heat pumps having an average lifespan of 20-25 years.
Low Maintenance
Heat pumps have a robust design and very few moving parts meaning that they require very little maintenance. Annual checks are required to ensure the terms and conditions of the guarantee are adhered to. A regularly serviced and maintained heat pump can last up to 20 years.
How do they work?
Air Source Heat Pumps
In simple terms, an air source heat pump works like a reverse fridge, extracting warmth from the outside air before concentrating it and transferring it indoors to provide central heating and hot water.
They will work at temperatures of minus 15°C and lower. They extract renewable heat from the environment transforming the air’s heat energy into heating and hot water so while an air source heat pump needs electricity to run, the heat output is greater than the electricity input, which makes them an energy-efficient heating system.
