HEAT PUMPS
Extract energy from the external environment, and use this energy to heat your home and hot water.
WHAT ARE HEAT PUMPS?
Heat pumps in essence transfer heat from one location to another. Even when external temperatures are very low there is still a significant amount of energy in the air or ground. Heat Pumps are able to harness this energy, condense it, raise its temperature and transfer the energy into a building. They work on the same technology as a fridge or freezer, just in reverse.
HEAT PUMP OPTIONS
There are two domestic types of heat pumps: air-source heat pumps and ground source heat pumps.
AIR SOURCE
Air Source Heat Pumps use a fan to blow the external air across the evaporation side of the cycle, which then absorbs the energy from the air. This runs through a compressor, which in essence condenses this energy and raises it temperature. This energy can then be transferred to your building to heat the internal space and for hot water.
GROUND SOURCE
Ground source heat pumps use the same process as Air Source, but instead use ground loops to extract thermal energy from underground and convert this into heating and hot water for your home.
