Heat your home even on the coldest of Yorkshire days.
This type of system has been used in Northern Scandinavia for many years and there its even colder than Doncaster in December!
Across Yorkshire there are widely varying requirements. The skill is designing the set up to your specific needs and that’s where we are experts.
You can rely on our knowledge and local experience to ensure your system provides you with the energy you need.
Costs
Environmentally friendly, renewable, cost-effective energy from a heat pump is now a reality, especially if you are off the national grid. If you feel stuck with a choice between expensive oil heating or ever-more costly LPG, you should certainly consider a heat pump.
An air source heat pump can pay for itself within 5 years. Heat Pump Systems can be over six times as energy efficient as the most efficient gas or oil boiler. Even if you’re happy with your existing system (though probably not with the bills) a heat pump can be coupled to your traditional fossil fuel system to produce dramatic savings.
Benefits
Air Source Heat Pumps are such a brilliant solution on so many levels:
No digging trenches – as for ground heat source pumps ; this saves on cost and disruption (making a mess of your garden!)
Ideal for urban sites where ground space is limited
No unsightly oil or LPG tank
No major parts outside, exposed to the elements – just your intake fan
No maintenance – the fan is the only moving external part (and it doesn’t need ongoing maintenance)
365 day optimum working temperature – it will even defrost itself using its own heat
‘Free heat’ (once the system has repaid you)
Greatly reduced environmental impact
Renewable energy source – the sun replaces the energy you take from the air.
How an Air Source Heat Pump Works
Air Source Heat Pumps take heat energy out of the air to produce a rise iin temperature, rather like your fridge, except in reverse – a fridge takes heat and makes it cold. You come home with your shopping and put your ‘warm’ white wine in the fridge. Feel the bottle later and its chilled. If you were to feel the radiator at the back of your fridge it would be warm – the fridge has sucked out the cold of the wine and released it as heat energy. Just so but opposite, in an air source heat pump.
The air handling unit draws air across a water/anti freeze solution and transfers the energy into a refrigerant. The refrigerant reacts by boiling, producing gas which under compression produces temperatures in excess of 100°C. The heat produced can then be used much as your fossil fuel boiler would, to pump round radiators and/or heat domestic hot water.
