HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS

A heat pump is a relatively new technology in the UK although they are widely used in Scandinavia and many parts of Europe where there is an abundance of renewably sourced electricity.

What are the basic workings of a heat pump?

A heat pump takes energy from outside and transfers it into heat to be circulated around a heating and hot water system. A heat pump uses electricity to run the components of a heat pump, principally a fan, compressor, and circulating pumps to transfer the energy from the heat source into the heat sink or heating system.

The most common type of heat pump is the air-source heat pump, which transfers heat between your house and the outside air. Today’s heat pump can reduce your electricity use for heating by approximately 50% compared to electric resistance heating such as furnaces and baseboard heaters. High-efficiency heat pumps also dehumidify better than standard central air conditioners, resulting in less energy usage and more cooling comfort in the summer months.  However, in recent years, air-source heat pump technology has advanced so that it now offers a legitimate space-heating alternative in colder regions. For homes without ducts, air-source heat pumps are also available in a ductless version called a mini-split heat pump.
