Can an air source heat pump
provide all the necessary heat and hot water for an entire
house?
Yes, as long as the air source heat pump is sized to meet the
maximum heat load conditions for the property. To meet a
variable space heating load we would recommend that only a
variable output air source heat pump is installed.
Can an air source heat pump be used in conjunction with other
technologies in my home?
Yes, with suitable control systems air source heat pumps can be
operated to act in either a lead or support mode with any other
fossil or renewable heating technology.
Is it possible to combine my radiators and underfloor heating
in the same system?
Yes. The water flowing through the radiator circuit will be the
same temperature as the water flowing through the underfloor
heating circuit.The radiators will need to be sized using the
water temperature of the underfloor heating circuit.
Will my home still be warm enough?
Traditional radiators work with bursts of heat to maintain the
desired room temperature. Our heat pumps are different because
they supply water to the radiators at a lower, but constant
temperature. The temperature of your home can still be set using
a normal thermostat, but the heating will be constant and more
controlled - which also costs less money.
Will my water still be warm enough?
There is no noticeable difference in the supply of hot water -
our heat pumps can supply water up to 60ºC.
Will I save money by fitting at heat pump?
From data provided by BRE testing (the UK’s leading centre for
independent advice for the built environment) and from case
study analysis, running costs can be reduced over a conventional
gas boiler by approximately 35%. These saving are achieved using
standard tariff electricity.
Can I reduce my carbon footprint by using a heat pump?
Your carbon footprint measures your emissions based on energy
consumption per kWhr and fuel type used, i.e. direct
electric/oil/LPG/gas or electric heat pump. Our heat pumps can
save approximately 45% of the average annual CO₂ based on a gas
fired boiler with even more savings to be made on coal, oil and
direct electric.
How can a heat pump reduce my carbon emissions?
Because our heat pumps’ output efficiencies are from 3 to 3.5
(i.e. 300% to 350%), the actual amount of electrical energy
consumed from the national grid is dramatically reduced. So,
even taking in to account the reduced CO₂/kW for gas (0.19)
against CO₂/kW for electricity (0.43), our heat pumps emit far
less CO₂ than even the highest efficiency condensing gas boiler.
