An increasingly popular heating option for many properties are Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP’s). They are simple to install and can reduce heating bills significantly. Buyers looking to install one can also apply and receive money back from the government supported BUS scheme with £7500 per installation subject to approval
How Do They Work?
They extract heat from the outside air in the same way that a fridge extracts it from inside. Heat from the air is absorbed into the unit as a fluid. This is then pumped through a heat exchanger within the pump.
Low grade heat is then extracted by the refrigeration system and passed through the compressor. It is then concentrated into a higher temperature to make useful heat.
The heat generated is capable of heating water sufficiently to fulfil the requirements of the heating and hot water circuits of a house.
Our experience and expertise in renewable energy solutions is fully recognised by our MCS accreditation.
We are recognised Mitsubishi AEI, Vaillant and Kensa heat pump partners.
As a technology, Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) provide a cost-effective alternative system. They require negligible maintenance and are one of the fastest growing applications of renewable and sustainable energy in the world. They can be used to provide domestic hot water and heating.
How Do They Work?
They operate by transferring heat that resides in the ground all year round. This latent heat, when passed over a cooler fluid circulating in the ground loops of the heat pump system, transfers the heat into fluid held within the loop.
Fluid is pumped firstly through a compressor. This increases the temperature. It is then pushed through heat exchanger. This transfers the heat into either a hot water cylinder or the heating system of the property.
