Heat Pumps
Heat pumps have been an increasingly popular technology within the UK. The technology is not new as it uses the same technology that powers your fridge and air conditioning.
Why use heat pumps?
Heat pumps take low temperature heat from the ground, air or water and upgrade it so that it can be used for space heating, and sometimes hot water.
How does it work?
Ground source heat pumps can either use a borehole or ground loop to take the heat from the ground while air source heat pumps extract heat from the air outside your home and water source heat pumps take heat from a lake, river or stream. Heat pumps use electricity to boost the low temperature heat from the ground, air or water to the level needed by your heating system. A heat pump performs particularly well in well insulated buildings so it is important to make sure that your home is well insulated before considering installing one.
