heat pumps

What is a heat pump?

A short description of a heat pump is a “mechanical solar collector”. It extracts FREE solar energy from the surrounding air and increases its temperature for heating purposes. It requires just 1kW of electrical input in order to generate 3kW – 5kW of heating output. Heat pump systems are therefore 3 – 5 times more efficient than electric in-line boilers or gas boilers.

Unlike solar roof panels that require the sun to shine, heat pumps only require circulation of air. A heat pump will therefore deliver FREE energy at night and even at outdoor temperatures below 0º Celsius. Another advantage is that a heat pump will not interfere with the design esthetics of your roof. A heat pump looks like an air conditioner outdoor unit. The increasing popularity of these heating systems is reflected by their overwhelming successful application in cold climates such as Scandinavia. The market for heat pumps is growing due to increasing awareness of the systems obvious benefits. You will also reduce your carbon footprint you leave behind for future generations to deal with.
