A low-carbon way of heating your home

Air source heat pumps are an efficient and eco-friendly way to provide heating and hot water for your home, as they extract thermal energy from the outside air and convert it into usable heat. Unlike traditional heating systems, air source heat pumps don't burn fossil fuels, instead, they use a renewable source of energy, generating only 25% of the energy needed from electricity, with the remaining 75% coming from the outside air. This makes them a great option for reducing emissions and CO2 impact, making them an attractive choice for homeowners looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Are Heat Pumps Efficient?

Air source heat pumps work by extracting heat from cooler outdoor air and using it to warm your home, much like air conditioning units. Their size varies depending on the amount of heat needed to efficiently warm your home, with larger units required to generate more heat.

Heat pumps can significantly reduce carbon emissions by harnessing renewable energy from the air, making it a more eco-friendly option compared to traditional fossil fuel-based systems. While there will still be some CO2 emissions due to the power source, the amount of CO2 saved depends on the fuel being replaced. To maximize the benefits of a heat pump, it's essential to learn how to use it effectively, such as setting the heating to come on for longer periods than traditional systems. Regular maintenance and annual servicing are also recommended to ensure optimal performance and extend the system's lifespan.
