Heat Pumps
Safe & reliable renewable heat
Heat pumps work by extracting heat from the air, ground, or water, then amplifying and transferring it to where it is most useful.
In use for decades, heat pumps are an effective heating and cooling technology. The most common system is an air source heat pump that draws heat from the outside air which is absorbed into a fluid that can be used to heat water for radiators, underfloor heating systems, warm air convectors or to provide hot water for your home.
A heat pump will lower your fuel bills, even though it uses electricity, as it replaces more expensive heating systems such as oil or gas and it is more efficient than old electric systems.
An added bonus is carbon dioxide emissions are halved and there are no carbon monoxide dangers. Low noise and efficient, a heat pump is positioned outside so there is no noisy boiler indoors and space is saved internally. Plus no oil tank, no running out of fuel or hunting for the cheapest refill.
Why invest in a Heat Pump?
Energy efficiency
Heat pumps can be highly energy efficient, as they use electricity to move heat rather than generating it from scratch. In fact, some types of heat pumps can be more than 300% efficient, meaning they can produce up to 3 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity they use.
Cost savings
Because heat pumps are so efficient, they can help to save money on energy bills. While the upfront cost of a heat pump may be higher than a conventional heating or cooling system, the long-term savings on energy bills can make it a cost-effective option over time.
Environmental benefits
Heat pumps produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions than traditional heating and cooling systems, as they use electricity rather than burning fossil fuels, making them a more environmentally friendly option.
Versatility
Heat pumps can be used for both heating and cooling and therefore useful all year round.
Comfort
Heat pumps provide a consistent, even temperature throughout the space they are heating or cooling, meaning a comfortable environment whatever the weather.
Durability
Heat pumps are designed to be durable and long-lasting, with a typical lifespan of 15-20 years or more.
