Thinking about switching to an Air Source Heat Pump?
Air source heat pumps are a renewable energy source which take the outside air and uses it to heat the home even when the temperature outside is as low as -15 °C!
Not only does this form of renewable energy offer endless benefits to your heating system, the Government also offer grants, to encourage the use of renewable heat because of its environmental benefits. These grants help property owners overcome the upfront costs.
How Air Source Heat Pumps Work?
The Air Source Heat Pump takes heat from the air and boosts it to a higher temperature using a heat pump. The pump needs electricity to run, but it should use less electrical energy than the heat it produces. From 1KW of electrical energy in, a heat pump can produce up to 4kw of energy out!
Using electricity and refrigerant technology, the pump compresses refrigerant to increase its temperature. It then condenses back into a liquid to release it as stored heat. Heat is sent to your radiators or underfloor heating. The remainder can be stored in a hot water cylinder. Stored hot water can be used for showers, baths and taps.
STEP 1
Book in a free, no obligation discovery call for advice and guidance on the suitability of an ASHP for your home
STEP 2
Arrange a full heat loss survey for the property. This involves an in depth survey to assess the true heat loss of the property by identifying the room size, considering insulation levels, doors, windows and existing forms of heating.
STEP 3
Once the heat loss survey has been carried out, you will receive a full proposal. Please note, there is a £250 charge for this service if you decide an ASHP isn't for you
