Renewable heating systems can help to reduce the carbon footprint of homes and business premises in the UK. If you’re looking for ways to be greener in the Henley on Thames area, ask us about air source heat pumps. They can be installed in many buildings and will go a long way to reducing heating costs. We can discuss the pros and cons of air source heat pumps and offer advice about having a system installed in your property.
What are air source heat pumps?
An air-source heat pump (ASHP) makes use of naturally occurring heat in the air outside. The system offers an alternative to burning fossil fuel for heat. Air source heating is a renewable heat source that works by absorbing the warmth in the outside air and transferring to the inside. To get the air to a suitable temperature, the pump system adds a little heat but it is a reliable method that works well in domestic homes and larger, commercial buildings. As well as heating rooms, the same method can be used for hot water too.
Is an air source heat pump right for me?
Air source heat pumps are relatively affordable to install and are used most commonly in newer buildings but older buildings are sometimes suitable. They are efficient systems and there some areas have grants available to help with the cost of installation. If you’re in an area near Reading, Windsor, or Beaconsfield that is not on mains gas, ASHP is a viable option to consider when looking for heating systems. It’s important to know that ASHP provides a lower level of heat, so they need to be left on for longer periods to be worthwhile. The building needs to be very well insulated too to keep the heat in. There needs to be electricity in the building to run the pumps.
