Benefits of getting an air source heat pump

Whilst most homes that are based in suburban areas, such as Winterbourne and Yate, are powered by boilers in the modern age, this is not the only source of heating available to property owners. Air-source heat pumps are a fantastic, and energy-efficient alternative to home heating. But what are some of the benefits of using air-source heat pumps? Keep reading this blog post to find out!

Air-source heat pumps work by transferring heat absorbed from outside air to an indoor space. This heat is transported through radiators and wet central heating systems, creating comforting living environments and hot water on demand.

Heat Pumps are a highly efficient energy source

Thanks to the nature of air-source heat pumps, these systems provide a truly efficient energy source and likely have a lower carbon footprint than other heating appliances. One of the main reasons for this is that they can be alternatively powered by wind or solar energy, which minimises your reliance on fossil fuels and may enable you to receive future payments through the UK’s Renewable Heat Initiative. 

Heat pumps are particularly efficient during the summer, so now is a great time to think about getting one installed at your home in Winterbourne! Get in touch with our specialists by calling us on 07716 101545 to arrange a heat pump installation. However, if you are interested in taking a look at the other renewables that we install here at C Brookes Plumbing & Heating, then why not take a look at our renewables page?


Heat Pumps have the ability to work at low temperatures

On a similar note, air-source heat pumps are also capable of delivering heat at a lower temperature, particularly when compared to conventional gas and oil-fired boilers.

In fact, air-source heat pumps can deliver heat at temperatures that are 20 degrees lower overall, helping you to minimise consumption and maintain a more comfortable living environment.

This should also allow you to minimise waste, creating a scenario where you save more on your monthly energy bills.

Heat Pumps can supply hot water on demand

With most conventional heating systems, it’s possible to access an instant supply of hot water whenever you need it. Even better, air source heat pumps also allow you to create a secure store for your hot water to use at a later time. Despite this, there’s no need for additional fuel storage, which means that you can install an air source heat pump without compromising the available space in your home!
