If you’re looking for a way of controlling the temperature of your home or business a heat pump could be the ideal option. Combining both heating and cooling systems into one convenient pump, renewable heat pumps can save you money and keep your premises environmentally friendly.

 

Here’s all you need to know about choosing heat pumps as an alternative temperature control system.


What are the benefits of heat pumps?

Keeping your home or business at the right temperature all year round can take its toll when it comes to keeping your bills affordable and being eco friendly.

 

Some of the benefits of heat pumps include:

More energy efficient

A heat pump is integrated with a compressor and liquid refrigerant that is designed to move heat energy from a single location to another. Compared to gas central heating and electric heating, heat pumps utilise less energy so you can maintain a comfortable temperature while reducing your impact on the environment.


Save on heating costs

The great thing about heat pumps is that they are often cheaper to run than boilers. It’s a common occurrence that during the winter you’ll see a spike in your energy bills. Any solution to reducing your energy costs is a bonus! A heat pump installation is just as powerful as traditional heating options but you can save money at the same time.


Less maintenance

Boilers are complicated systems so many things can go wrong and ongoing maintenance is a must. On the other hand, heat pumps are low maintenance. They are fairly self-sufficient so you haven’t got to worry about complicated issues and repairs.


Offers both heating and cooling options

British weather can be very unpredictable so it’s important to have all bases covered. Heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling options so come winter and summer, you’ll be well prepared.
