What is a heat pump?
Heat pumps are a renewable energy technology that converts energy in the ground (Ground Source Heat Pumps) or air (Air Source Heat Pumps) into heat.
They use less fossil fuel than most other systems, so deliver a more sustainable, low carbon source of heating and hot water all year round.
Here at Aquatec NW we have highlighted some of the benefits of a heat pump:
- High efficiency ratings
- Provide both space and water heating and space cooling
- They can substantially lower your energy bills
- They can also significantly lower your carbon footprint
- They can improve your property’s air quality
- If your old heating system was inefficient, you are more likely to see lower running costs with a new heat pump
- If you heat with electricity, a heat pump can trim the amount of electricity you use for heating by as much as 30% to 40%
- When a heat pump is correctly installed it should require very little maintenance and be expected to last for at least 20-30 year
- Most heat pumps come with a 5-10 year warranty on parts and labour as standard
