Heat pumps don’t generate carbon emissions. You can choose to power your heat pumps using 100% renewable energy. This is a significant change from traditional heat sources. These systems create carbon emissions at the generating plant or in your home.
There is nothing like shortage of fuel when you use heat pumps. A heat pump will also save space in your home as you will not need a furnace. You will likely not require planning permission to install heat pump. Heat pumps are the heating technology of the future. Regular sources of domestic heating may slowly phase out.

A Little More On Air Source Heat Pumps
Here’s how Air Source Heat Pumps work
Air source heat pumps take air from the outside and distributes it inside the house. The system makes the air hotter before passing it into the house. It achieves this by compressing the fluid that comes with heat pump units. You can use this to heat up water, while keeping your interior warm.
How Much Could an Air Source Heat Pump Save Me?
You get to enjoy almost as much savings with air source heat pumps, as you would with ground source heat pumps. In fact, you will likely save as much as £400 every year, compared to electric resistance heaters.
Comparing Air Source Heat Pumps and Ground Source Heat Pumps
Choosing between ground source heat pumps and air source heat pumps can be difficult. But you will spend a lot more installing a ground source heat pump than the air source model. However, you will enjoy better energy efficiency.
With ground source heat pumps, you can use either underground heat or water sources. This makes ground source heat pumps the more efficient system. With air source heat pumps, you can expect more energy consumption. This is caused by higher temperatures underground than in the air. So, ASHPs need more energy to increase air temperatures. However, air source heat pumps involve a smaller upfront cost. Unfortunately, these systems lose performance during the cold months. Air Source Heat Pumps are very easy to install and can be as simple as putting up an air conditioner. Ground source heat pumps, however, will require that you dig into the ground. So, you need a suitable subsoil and enough space for the process. Both types of heat pumps are reliable, but installation process differ. Get in touch with us on 01273 257407 to know how you can get a heat pump for your Princes-Risborough property.
