Air Source Heat Pumps
Our air source heat pumps systems are designed to be quickly integrated into your project
Heat pumps are more efficient than other heating systems because the amount of heat they produce is more than the amount of electricity they use. The amount of heat produced for every unit of electricity used is known as the Coefficient of Performance (CoP). So, if a heat pump has a CoP of 3.0, then it will give out three units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed
What is an Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP)?
Rather than burning fossil fuel to create heat energy, an ASHP moves heat from the air outside into your home through a system of exchanges. The extracted heat is then used to heat your radiators and hot water cylinders for your showers and taps.
A well designed heat pump system can move 3 or 4 times more heat energy than it uses as power and are incredibly efficient at heating a home.
Benefits
Renewable Energy Option
As a renewable energy source you now pay 0% VAT on your system
Low Running Costs
A well designed system will deliver low running costs and save you money
Eligible for Grants
Air source heat pumps are eligible for a grant worth up to £5K
Up To 400% Efficiency
Extremely efficient - heat pumps your home with no harmful emissions
Is an ASHP right for your home?
ASHP's can be installed in a variety of residential an commercial properties whether its in a rural or urban setting. They are very efficient and can extract heat from temperatures as low as -25c so you don't have to worry about heating when the temperature drops.
Is installing an ASHP is right for you if:
- Looking to reduce your carbon footprint with an eco-friendly, sustainable heating method
- Your property is well insulted for optimum heating performance
- You don't have enough space for a Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP)
- Looking for a quick and low cost heating appliance
What will our service cost you?
Our high-quality and well-designed systems cost you in the region of £5,000 for a smaller property, with properties exceeding 250m2 costing around £11000. Though these numbers are a rough estimate and we recommend you contact us for a better estimation.
Since the announcement of the boiler upgrade scheme its now possible to reduce your installation figures by £5000 should your property qualify.
What are the costs?
Heat pumps work by moving existing heat energy from the climate around us into our homes. Your heat pumps will extract between three to four times more 'free' thermal energy than it uses to achieve this process.
The process is as much as 300% more affective than a conventional fossil fuel boils which sits at 92% efficiency. And when paired with a renewable energy source like solar PV there are no extra running costs.
