How Do Heat Pumps Work?

Heat pumps harvest heat from hot locations and transfers it to cold location, and vice versa. You can power heat pumps using different types of heat sources.

Heating your property using a heat pump will cost less than using electricity systems. The cost of running a ground source heat pump is also lower than running gas or oil boilers. The savings your will enjoy depends on the type of system you choose, but the savings will be significant.

There is nothing like shortage of fuel when you use heat pumps. When you install a heat pump, you no longer require a furnace. You may not need to apply for planning permission to install a heat pump on your property. Heat pumps are positioning to becoming the primary source of domestic heating in the future. Regular sources of domestic heating may slowly phase out. To know more about installing a heat pump in Potters-Bar, call 01273 257407 .

A Little More On Air Source Heat Pumps
Here’s how Air Source Heat Pumps work
ASHP harvests hot air from outside the house and funnels it inside via the indoor units. The temperature of the harvested air is first increased to suit the inside of the house. The fluid inside the heat pump makes this possible. With this heat, you can heat hot water and make your house 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. When you compare heat pumps to electric resistance heaters, you are looking at savings of about £400 each year.
Comparing Air Source Heat Pumps and Ground Source Heat Pumps
It can be a tough choice choosing between ground source and air source heat pumps. It is more expensive to install Ground Source Heat Pumps. But you gain greater energy efficiency.
With ground source heat pumps, you can use either underground heat or water sources. So, they are much more efficient and can save more money. Air source heat pumps are known for higher energy consumption. This is because the ground temperature is greater than that of the air. Therefore, air source heat pumps cost more to operate. ASHPs are less expensive upfront and will tend to provide a very good return on your investment. Air source heat pumps, however, don’t perform as well in the cold. Air Source Heat Pumps are as easy to install, just like an air conditioner unit. But Ground Source Heat Pumps require digging the land. Therefore, make sure you have a suitable land. Air source heat pumps and ground source heat pumps are equally reliable, but they are installed differently. Call 01273 257407 to speak to someone about installing a heat pump in Potters-Bar.
