Air source heat pumps in Sussex are becoming increasingly popular. They generate heat using the outside air. This makes them really energy efficient. Heat can even be generated from air that has a temperature of -15°C. They do run off electricity so they aren’t 100% energy efficient. However, they are still more energy efficient than some other heat pump options. There are numerous benefits that come with having this type of heat pump installed and below you’ll find some of the top ones.
Benefit #1: May lower your energy bill
If you are using the air source heat pump to replace your conventional electric heating system, it can lower your energy bills. They not only heat up the home, but they can also provide hot water too.
As well as potentially lowering your energy bill, you may actually be entitled to money back from the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme set up by the Government. This scheme was announced on the 12th June 2013 and it will be put into place in spring 2014.
Benefit #2: Need very little maintenance
These heat pumps in Sussex are often referred to as ‘fit and forget’ technology. They’re also easier to install than a ground source heat pump. The only thing to keep in mind is that the efficiency may be a little lower than it would be with a ground source heat pump.
Benefit #3: Can lower your homes carbon emissions
Depending upon which type of fuel you’re replacing them with, you could really lower your carbon footprint. They don’t require any fuel deliveries and they are more energy efficient than ground source pumps.
These are the three main benefits of having an air source pump installed. Not every home will be suitable for them however. You need to be sure you’ve got space on an outside wall to have them installed. The home should also be drought proof and fully insulated. This is because this type of pump works at lower temperatures than a standard boiler. If your home mainly uses gas then this may not be the best type of heat pump to replace it with.
Overall air source heat pumps repair in Sussex do have many benefits. You do need to take both the advantages and disadvantages into account however before you make up your mind.
