Air source heat pumps: the renewable, economical future of home heating
Air source heat pumps are a renewable technology that’s economical, efficient, and the environmentally sound choice. Thousands of homes across the country have already made the switch from oil or gas to an air source heat pump, and are enjoying lower fuel bills and warmer homes as a result.
Each year we spend £13.5 billion heating our homes here in the UK. If you want to be one of the households to reduce bills and your carbon footprint, an air source heat pump is an excellent choice. An air source heat pump can generate 75% of the heating and hot water needs for your home, so you’re protected from fluctuations in fuel prices. Even better – through the government’s Renewable Heating Incentive (RHI) scheme, your will receive quarterly incentive payments for seven years after installation. The average three-bed home can expect to see payments of around £11,000 over that period.
How does an air source heat pump work?
As accredited Vaillant installers, we’re proud to be able to offer a cost-efficient, tried and tested, renewable heating solution! The Vaillant air source heat pump has been heating homes throughout the UK for over a decade: here’s how it works.
The pump itself sits outside your home, in your garden or mounted to a structurally secure wall. Designed to be both compact and quiet, the pump absorbs heat from the outside air (even when the temperature is as low as -25°C) and converts it to usable heat in your home, covering your heating and hot water needs. You can operate it through a control panel, remote control, or an app.
You can choose to either replace your current heating entirely, or add a Vaillant system to your current heating system and have them working together. And you’ll be pleased to know that it’s won awards for its super-quiet sounds, so there’s no need to worry about upsetting the neighbours!
This affordable, renewable and super-efficient solution creates 4kw of energy for every 1kw used, making it 400% efficient!
Installing an air source heat pump means you’ll:
– drastically reduce your carbon footprint
– save a lot of money over the coming decades
– help reach climate change targets
– enjoy a warmer home!
