You can benefit from significantly lower fuel bills, the constantly rising cost of fuel makes Air Source heat pumps
an increasingly attractive answer to the problems to budgeting faced by businesses and families. As once Air Source heat pump
heating is installed the only associated costs are for maintenance. In a world faced with increasing competition for fuel
resources and diminishing availability of fossil fuels renewable or green forms of energy are becoming increasingly viable
alternatives, the reality facing all of us is that scarcity of resources can only result in significant rises in the costs
associated with traditional forms of heating.
Heat pumps can play a significant role in lowering a home or businesses
carbon footprint. Something that Governments businesses and individuals will be under increasing pressure to achieve; As a
result of the Kyoto protocol to which the UK is a signatory.
"The objective of the Kyoto climate
change conference was to establish a legally binding international agreement, whereby all the participating nations commit
themselves to tackling the issue of global warming and greenhouse gas emissions. The target agreed upon was an average reduction
of 5.2% from 1990 levels by the year 2012. According to the treaty, in 2012, Annex I countries must have fulfilled their obligations
of reduction of greenhouse gases emissions established for the first commitment period (2008-2012) (listed in Annex B of the Protocol)."
No fuel deliveries required. Can provide
heating and hot water
Fit and forget solution as it requires little maintenance.
How does an Air Source heat pump work. |
Running an Air Source Heat pump solution is like turning your home or business into an inside-out fridge. In a refrigerator
cooling fluid extracts heat from the internal space and exchanges it to the outside air using in effect a radiator fixed to
the back. With an Air Source heat pump, heat in the outside air is used to heat the inside of the building, It can even extract
heat from the air even when the outside temperature is as low as minus 15° C.
(Science Note) For a more in
depth description of the workings of Air Source heat pumps refer to the 1st law of Thermo dynamics. (Supplied by
WikiPedia)
Simple explanation of the first law of thermo dynamics
Although Heat pumps have some impact on the environment as they need electricity to run, the heat they extract
from the air, is constantly being renewed naturally.

An air-to-water system can distribute heat via either radiator central heating or under-floor heating system. Heat
pumps work much more efficiently at a lower temperature than a standard boiler system would. So they are most suitable for
underfloor heating systems or large radiators, which provide heat at lower temperatures over longer periods of time.
Alternatively
an air-to-air system produces warm air which is circulated by fans to heat your home.
In either system heat energy
from the air is absorbed into a fluid which is pumped through a heat exchanger in the heat pump. Low grade heat is then extracted
by the refrigeration system and, after passing through the heat pump compressor, is concentrated into higher temperature heat
capable of heating water for the heating and hot water
