Endorsed by the Energy Saving Trust, heat pumps heat your home efficiently
while lowering energy use and carbon emissions.
What Is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is a central heating system for your home or business that doesn’t need to burn fuel to provide hot water for your radiators, hot water taps and shower.
A heat pump central heating system uses radiators, underfloor heating or warm air systems to heat the inside of your home just like a gas fired boiler.
The main difference is that a heat pump doesn’t use a boiler. Instead, it uses a unit that is installed on the outside of your house to extract energy from the surrounding air, or underground to extract energy from the ground.
What Are The Benefits of a Heat Pump?
-
Heat pumps are an eco-friendly solution to temperature regulation as they utilise renewable energy sources.
-
Heat pumps help lower your reliance on fossil fuels and significantly reduces your carbon footprint.
-
Heat pumps are more efficient than gas heating systems. A heat pump can be 300% efficient while gas boilers are typically around X% efficient.
-
Heat pumps are adaptable and can heat and cool your home.
-
Heat pumps use less electricity and, unlike gas boilers, they burn no fossil fuels to heat your water.
-
Investing in a heat pump can significantly reduce your heating bills.
How Do Heat Pumps Work?
There’s a relationship between the temperature and pressure of a liquid. If you heat it in a closed container, the pressure increases. If you cool it, the pressure reduces. Similarly, if you reduce the pressure, the temperature decreases and if you increase the pressure, the temperature increases.
This is the principle behind your fridge and air conditioning. It isn’t new and it’s powerful enough to freeze the contents of your freezer.
The four stages are Evaporation, Compression, Condensation and Expansion.
A cold, liquid circulates through a heat exchanger in the part of your heat pump that is outside. It absorbs heat from the environment (air, ground, or water), which causes the liquid to boil and turn into a gas.
The gas is moved to a compressor, which increases its pressure which makes it very hot.
The hot, high-pressure gas flows through an heat exchanger inside your home where, it releases its heat to warm the water for your home's radiators or underfloor heating system. As the gas gives it’s heat to the water, it cools down and turns back into a liquid.
The liquid passes through an expansion valve, which lowers its pressure and temperature, returning it to its starting state to begin the cycle again.
