Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are an effective method of heating your property whether it’s a commercial or residential property using the freely available heat energy from the air and transfers it to your property to provide hot water and heating. ASHP’s are self contained units using electricity as its only source of chargeable energy use. However, compared to other heating systems, ASHPs require very little chargeable energy to operate. This can lower your energy bills considerably. ASHP’s can be between 300 – 500% efficient, meaning the energy from the electricity used to operate the unit is transformed into 3 – 5 more heat type energy, which is then passed into the heating water heat exchanger.
From 2025 all new homes will be banned from installing gas boilers and replaced by low-carbon alternatives like air source heat pumps? Did you also know that by installing a low carbon heating system in your home, you can have the installation cost subsidised by the Government’s Renewable Heat Incentive? That seems like a pretty good deal to us! To find out more about ASHPs and how they can provide you with low carbon heating please contact us.
