Air source heat pumps installed by the Arco team
Air source heat pumps are an alternative (and greener) way to heat your home. Like solar panels, it absorbs heat from the outside air which is then converted into heating your home - your radiators, hot water and underfloor heating.
How do Air Source Heat Pumps work?Unlike gas or oil boilers, these heat pumps give out heat at much lower temperatures so may need to be on all the time during the winter to keep each room toastie. They are ideal for fuelling underfloor heating which works in a similar way.
Because of the natural way in which air source heat pumps generate heat, they have less impact on the environment and can ultimately save you money on your energy bills. They are quickly growing in popularity. Having one installed could also earn you potential income via the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). The Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive is a government financial scheme to promote the use of renewable heat. The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) develops the scheme policy and rules. Ofgem implements and administers the scheme. |
