Why Choose a Renewable Heat Pump?
It might feel like summer’s only just started, but before we know it the nights will draw in and the cold snap will hit. Summer is actually a great time to start thinking about your heating and you can make sure that everything is set up and working efficiently before the temperatures drop.
When it comes to your heating options, gas and electric systems are still extremely common. However, the costs of electric heating can be high and many people are becoming increasingly concerned about the impact of gas heating on the environment.
Heat pump systems are one energy efficient alternative to gas heating and their running costs tend to be lower than electric systems too. Heat pumps transfer heat from a source (like heat below the earth) to another location (like your home’s heating system). There are many great reasons to install a renewable heat pump, so read on to find out more.
Energy efficient
Heat pumps are much more efficient in comparison to gas or electric heating and they also help to reduce your carbon footprint. Renewable heat pumps are a source of renewable energy (like solar panels or wind power) as they transfer heat instead of generating it. This means that very little valuable energy is wasted.
Better for the environment
Heat pumps harness natural energy from the ground, ground water or the air, which means they produce zero emissions. This is much better for the environment and they operate efficiently even at low ambient temperatures. If you’re looking to lower your carbon footprint and reduce negative environmental impacts, a heat pump is a great place to start.
Cost effective
The initial cost of heat pump installation can be quite high, but they’re a worthwhile investment. Once installed, the running costs are much lower than a gas or electric system so you’ll save money on your energy bills in the long run. Heat pumps also require minimal maintenance so you could save on service and repair costs.
Can provide both heating and cooling
Heat pumps aren’t just for heating your home, they can provide heat and cool air from a single source heating system. This saves you the trouble of installing an additional air conditioning system for the summer months; a heat pump can maintain a steady, comfortable temperature all year round.
