subject: Benefits Of Buying Air Source Heat Pumps [print this page] If you are living in the UK, or any other cold region, you should really invest in a heating system to keep your home warm and comfortable during the winter season. You may also want to consider an energy efficient and cost effective heating system. If this is the case why not investigate an air source heat pump.
Air source heat pumps absorb heat from the outside air to warm your living space. There are two types of air source heat pumps- air to water heat pump and air-to-air heat pump. Whilst an air-to water heat pump is used for heating water, air-to-air heat pump helps produce warm air.
Both types of air source heat pumps have high coefficiency of performance (CoP). CoP is the amount of heat produced by the air source heat pump per unit of electricity. Generally, an average air source heat pump gives a CoP of 2-3. However, high quality air source heat pumps offer as high as 4-5 CoP.
If you buy an air source heat pump you can reduce your heating expenses quite considerably. With air source heat pumps you don't have to pay for fuel, gas, or oil to heat your home. Also the air source pumps consume very less amounts of electricity to heat air and water thereby allowing households to save on their electricity bills.
Air source heat pumps are all the more beneficial for those who have small houses. They are compact in size and unlike conventional gas-run or fuel-run heaters; air source heat pumps do not require any storage space. They fit well in all living areas.
Air source heat pumps do not produce any noise. They are therefore used in hospitals, offices, schools, and other places. Great for places where you need absolute peace and calm.
Yet another great advantage of air source heat pumps is that they are environmentally-friendly. The air source heat pumps do not release carbon and other harmful gasses into the air. So, if you buy air source heat pump for your domestic needs, you can really also help alleviate global warming by not releasing roughly 5 tonnes of CO2 which normal electric heating systems and gas heaters do.
Although, the cost of air source heat pumps and their installation expenses are high, by calculating their running cost you'll see why they are a great investment for your home.
As well as air source heat pumps, you may also want to consider ground source heat pumps. These are also energy efficient and eco-friendly. By using the heat of the earth they really do effectively warm your room and heat water for you.
