Understanding Air-to-Water Heat Pumps Curious about a sustainable way to heat your home and provide hot water? Air-to-water heat pumps could be the answer, leveraging the outside air to keep your home cozy and your water warm. How It Works: • Heat Absorption: Even in cold air, there’s usable heat. The heat pump’s outdoor unit captures this heat. • Heat Transfer: The heat from the outdoor air is transferred to water inside the unit through a compressor, increasing its temperature. • Heat Distribution: This heated water circulates through home heating systems, like underfloor heating or radiators. Benefits: • Energy Efficiency: These pumps use less electricity compared to traditional systems. • Eco-Friendly: Reduces carbon emissions by using renewable heat sources. • Cost-Effective: Lower operating costs compared to conventional heating methods. Considerations: • Initial Cost: Installation can be pricey but is offset by long-term savings. • Climate Sensitivity: Efficiency might decrease in extremely cold weather, possibly needing a backup system. Ideal for: Properties with space for installation, particularly those in mild climates or off the gas grid. Why Choose Us?
