Air source heat pumps have comparatively low running costs, especially when compared with off-grid fuels such as propane, oil or direct electric heating Air source heat pumps also work well with underfloor heating and low temperature radiators.
WHAT IT IS?
Air source heat pump is a low carbon heating system which works differently to a boiler. Instead of burning fossil fuel it uses electricity to transfer heat from the outside air to your home via space heating and hot water.
Due to the fact that the system runs cooler than a conventional gas boiler. The heating system works more effectively with underfloor heating and larger radiators to distribute the heat more effectively. Because of the lower temperature an auto boost kit is required to raise the temperature of the stored hot water to prevent legionella once a week.
STATS
Using the grant systems they run a refrigerant gas called R32. Which has significantly lower global warming potential compared to traditional refrigerants.
The Grant Aerona3 R32 range are cleaner and more eco- friendly while being incredibly effective with efficiency rating of A+++.
Depending on size of heat pump and flow temperature we can establish an efficient output of 5.19kw to 3.30kw for every 1kw of power the source pump uses. Making it a very efficient source of heating.
We are a Grant credited installers. Which enables us to offer an extended 7 year guarantee and your Grant air source heat pump.
From 1st April 2022 for a period of five years, the installation of certain energy saving materials – including air source heat pumps – will attract zero-rate VAT.
