Air Source Heat Pump Installation
Air source heat pumps are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional heating methods like Gas, Oil & LPG. Usually situated outdoors near the back of the property, air source heat pumps take heat from the air and convert it into energy that can be used for low cost heating and hot water needs all year round.
Types of air source heat pumps
Air to Air Heat Pumps
Air to air heat pumps cannot produce hot water. Instead, they take the hot air and blow it into your home via fans.
Air to Water Heat Pumps
Air to water heat pumps work like your traditional gas heating system and are able to produce hot water, so can be used for radiators, underfloor heating as well as your typical hot water systems. They also work better at lower temperatures than traditional gas heating systems, so are much more efficient.
If you would like to learn more about air source heat pumps and whether you might be able to benefit from installing one, please send Green and Reliable Heating a message to alanmarcon@me.com or give us a call on either 08001182467 or 07717574470.
What are the Advantages of a Heat Pump Installation?
There are many benefits of having a heat pump installed on your property. Our team of heat pump installers believe that a having an air source heat pump installed can be advantageous. Some of the benefits include...
Low running costs
They are cheaper to run than a heating system that is based on combustion.
Increase safety
They have few safety concerns seeing that they run on electricity alone.
Less maintenance required
Maintenance by an accredited air source heat pump installer only needs to be carried out every three to four years.
Reduction in carbon emissions
They have a highly efficient conversion rate of energy to heat.
Long life span
The lifespan is a lot longer than your average gas and oil boiler.
Provides cooling
In warmer weather, the air source heat pump can act as an air-con unit instead of a heater.
Incentives
There are many heat pump incentives set up by the government.
Ground Source Heat Pump Installation
Ground source heat pumps are obviously different to air source heat pumps in that they take heat from the ground, rather than the air. Because the temperature below ground is consistent, they are more suitable for all year round use, particularly here in the United Kingdom.
Again, If you would like to learn more about ground source heat pumps and whether you might be able to benefit from installing one, please contact Green and Reliable Heating and send us a message on alanmarcon@me.com or give us a call on either 08001182467 or 07717574470.
Advantages of Installing a Ground Source Heat Pump
There are many benefits of having a ground source heat pump installed. They are very similar to the advantages of an air source heat pump installation. The benefits of one are:
Fully Automated
This means they need much less maintenance and looking after than your typical oil and gas boiler. This includes not needing to keep an eye on fuel levels or delivery.
Save Space
The save space because there is no requirement to store fuel (no oil tank for example.) They also require no planning permission.
Much Safer
They do not rely on combustion, so no emission of carbon monoxide.
Heat Pump Incentive
You may be able to receive payments for the heat you generate using a heat pump through the UK Government’s Renewable Heat Incentive. The Renewable Heat Incentive has been developed to help with the reduction of carbon emissions here in the United Kingdom. The amount you could earn will depend on the size and age of your home as well as the type of heating system. To find out more, please give Green and Reliable Heating a call and we will be happy to explain how the scheme works, how you can apply for the incentive and the benefits your household may gain.
