The trend for biomass heating, off
grid living, turbines and heat pumps is soaring high. People have
realised the importance of using them; especially the last one. They are
energy efficient, cost effective, eco friendly, convenient, safe,
maintain temperature, improve air quality and occupy less space.
As people are becoming aware of the benefits of everything from
heat pumps to solar panels, they also are aware that you need qualified
solar panel installers and air source heat pump installers.
There are a lot of different types of heat pumps on the market, so you
need to choose the type that is best for you. The three main types are:
- Air source heat pumps
- Water source heat pumps
- Ground source heat pumps
Here we talk about the first one, it absorbs heat from the outside
air; it manages to do so even in extremely cold climates. There are a
lot of benefits for using this type of pump for several reasons. One of
the best benefits is that the carbon emissions and fuel bills will be
lower. Also, it can heat your home as well as your water. In addition
to that, it is easier to install compared to other types of pumps.
There are two types of air source heat pumps available on the market.
They are:
- Air to water heat pump
This spreads heat using a wet central heating system that usually
works more efficiently at lower temperatures. As a result, they are
more suitable for underfloor systems.
- Air to air heat pump
It produces warm air which is used to heat up the rooms; so they are unable to provide you with hot water.
Taking the costs and what you want it to do into consideration, purchase the one which is suitable for you and you home.
