Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are ideal for reducing running costs and carbon emissions in off gas areas. We can help you decide which of type of heat pump will best suit your needs...
Heat pumps: Ground source
This kind of heat pump is ideal if your development's either modern or already well insulated. Best efficiency is achieved with low temperature underfloor heating, but ground source heat pumps are also very effective when connected to radiators.
Low grade heat is extracted from the ground. The result of the process within the heat pump allows for this extracted heat to be delivered into the wet central heating system at up to 50 degrees C. For every 1kW of electricity consumed, up to 4kW of heat are delivered.
The way we actually go about getting the heat out of the ground is either through coils we bury in trenches or via vertical boreholes.
We supply a complete range of ground source heat pumps, from 4kW to 100s kW.
Heat pumps: Air Source
Whilst air source heat pumps are slightly less efficient than ground source heat pumps over the course of a heating season, they're cheaper to install as no ground works are involved.
Low grade heat is extracted from the air (as low as 15 degrees C). The result of the process within the heat pump allows for this extracted heat to be delivered into the wet central heating system at 50 degrees C. For every 1kW of electricity consumed, up to 4kW of heat are delivered (i.e. 400% efficient). Average efficiency of an air source heat pump, connected to an underfloor heating system, at 35 degrees C is approximately 300% over the course of a heating season (due to variations in external air temperature)
