Air source heat pumps are a popular renewable heating choice, providing an energy efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective way to heat a home.
We are experts in air source heat pump installation and we will work with you to determine the best location for your new heat pump. There are many benefits of installing Air Source Heat Pumps and some of these are described below.
Running Costs
The cost of running an air source heat pump to heat your home is considerably less than most alternative methods, such as oil, LPG or conventional electric heating. The energy you generate with an air source heat pump can be used to heat your home and provide hot water. Having an air source heat pump will remove the need for fuel deliveries if the house is off-grid with no mains gas.
Efficiency
On a well-designed heating system with under-floor heating and an outside air temperature of 7°C, ASHPs can reach efficiencies of up to 5.1kW of heat for every 1kW of electricity used. This is known as the COP (Coefficient of Performance). In comparison, electric storage heaters have a COP of just 1kW of heat to every 1kW of electricity used.
Reliability
Air source systems are extremely dependable due to their basic structure and the absence of hot burners. This dependability is enhanced when they are properly serviced and maintained.
Eco-Friendly
The environmental benefits are enormous; an ASHP installation can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 50%, allowing you to make a significant difference in the fight against global warming.
